CALL TO PRAYERS – REPORT TO DUTY POST

April 22, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

CALL TO PRAYERS – REPORT TO DUTY POST: THERE’S THE NEED TO PRAY – FOR GOD ANSWERS!

“Thus saith the Lord the MAKER thereof, the Lord that FORMED it, to ESTABLISH it; the Lord is his name; 3 CALL UNTO ME, and I WILL ANSWER thee, and SHEW thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:2-3.

Beloved of God in Christ Jesus – WILL YOU PRAY? CAN YOU PRAY? CAN YOU CALL UPON GOD TODAY – EVEN NOW? LET’S PRAY! FOR ITS TIME TO PRAY!!

There’s the NEED to PRAY – God PROMISE to ANSWER when we play our part to get the change we duly need in such a time as now. Create a PRAYER WALL – I mean moments of PRAYERS on a Daily basis, just as HEZEKIAH did, until his and our change comes in the FULNESS of Joy [2 Kings 20:1-11; Isaiah 38:1-8].

“O thou that HEAREST prayer, unto thee shall ALL FLESH come” Psalms 65:2.

Prayer is the BELIEVERS’ inescapable access to God. God BREATHS through the BELIEVER’S PRAYERS (Revelation 5:7-10; Revelation 8:2-4). Prayer is more than just a request, it is the FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) that enhances our RELATIONSHIP of LOVE with the Father God, through His WORD, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit of grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

PRAYING is employing and giving the HEAVENLY the permission into our EARTHLY affairs. God knows our needs, and knows we have needs, but do wants us to be involve, that is, to be participants in making it happen for our good. SO, LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN. God is faithful, true and sure. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

There are three forms of human ENDEMIC problems and the EFFECT, and why you should report to PRAYER as a lifeline duty, in respect of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

* A NO RAIN ENDEMIC (indicates lack of productivity, Job Losses – lack of the means for livelihood)

* A DEVOURING LOCUST ENDEMIC (indicate Economic meltdown and economics loss)

* A PESTILENCE ENDEMIC (indicate the affliction of Diseases and Sickness – leading to loss of life’s and health breakdown)

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and turn from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

It’s time to report to the duty post of PRAYERS and stop the unnecessary and unwarranted noise making of dependence on man that’s limited in everyway and everywhere. Give God the opportunity of interfering into your earthly affairs for the desired change you dearly need for today and tomorrow.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (BE WEARY, GIVE UP, QUIT, LOSE HEART) . . .” Luke 18:1-8.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and turn from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“O thou that HEAREST prayer, unto thee shall ALL FLESH come” Psalms 65:2.

“And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, AND GOLDEN VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS. 9 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 5:7-10.

“And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD out of the angel’s hand” Revelation 8:2-4.

“God be MERCIFUL UNTO US, AND BLESS US; and CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON US; Selah.

2 That thy WAY may be known upon earth, THY SAVING HEALTH AMONG ALL NATIONS.

3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: FOR THOU SHALT JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GOVERN THE NATIONS UPON EARTH. Selah.

5 Let the PEOPLE praise thee, O God; let all the PEOPLE praise thee.

6 Then shall the EARTH YIELD HER INCREASE; and God, even our own God, shall BLESS us.

7 God shall BLESS us; AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH SHALL FEAR HIM” Psalms 67:1-7.

“Give EAR to my words, O Lord consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the VOICE of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3 My voice shalt thou HEAR in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” Psalms 5:1-3.

“Because he hath SET his LOVE upon me, therefore will I DELIVER him: I will SET him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall CALL upon me, and I will ANSWER him: I will be with him IN trouble; I will DELIVER him, and HONOUR him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation” Psalms 91:14-16.

PRAYING FOR YOUR CIVIL/CIVIC LEADERS

April 21, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYING FOR YOUR CIVIL/CIVIC LEADERS: FOR GREAT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE UNDER GOD!

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, BE MADE FOR ALL MEN; 2 FOR KINGS, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have ALL MEN to be saved, and to come unto the KNOWLEDGE of the truth . . . 8 I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting” 1 Timothy 2:1-4, 8.

Enough of talking, analysis and interpretation, it’s time to PRAY. YOU CAN REIGN AND RULE THROUGH THE CROSS THAN THROUGH THE CROWN. Therefore, talk less and PRAY more, for the good and great governance among your civil leaders.

You can change the cause of history like Daniel and Nehemiah of old in your government and style of governance, by just bending on your kneels and lifting up your hands unto God in prayers for each one of them by names.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS. PRAYER MAKES GOOD THINGS COME TO REALITY. PRAY THE MORE AND TALK THE LESS. IT’S TIME TO BE MUTED OF IRRELEVANT MATTERS AND BESEECH THE HEAVENLY FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTHLY AFFAIRS.

God bless you.

Lets PRAY!

LETS PRAY FOR OUR ECCLESIASTICAL CHURCH MINISTERS

April 21, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LET’S PRAY FOR OUR ECCLESIASTICAL CHURCH MINISTERS: THERE WILL BE HEALING IN OUR LAND!

“Praying ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that UTTERANCE may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY, to make known the MYSTERY of the GOSPEL” Ephesians 6:18-19

There’s the need to PRAY for your Church Minister’s and the leadership team in order to:

* Advance the Kingdom causes of our God

* Keep the Enemy and Cohorts at Bay in everyway

* Bring forth the needed Healing to the Community/Society at Large.

Are you a Christian? Great! Do you belong to a local Church/denomination settings, and you an indeed a committed member? That’s Marvellous!! It will be more gracious and graceful to PRAY MORE for your Pastor’s and Church leadership, to make profit of your God given time than expending precious time on those your groans, murmurs and complaints about your Church and Members problems all the time.

“PRAY FOR US: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” Hebrews 13:18.

Your prayers in the THERE Church of yours, can do more to Advance the kingdom causes of God, keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and give birth to the needed healing to the community and society at large, than your mere talking more of the problems surrounding your Church and community with all the God given time.

“Now I BESEECH you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, THAT YE STRIVE TOGETHER WITH ME IN YOUR PRAYERS TO GOD FOR ME; 31 that I may be DELIVERED from them that do not believe in Judæa; and that MY SERVICE which I have for Jerusalem may be ACCEPTED of the saints; 32 that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be REFRESHED” Romans 15:30-32.

Civil leaders may try and endeavour to do their civic duties BUT if the Church can’t change society for the good of all, no one can. The Church is God’s measuring tape of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to the society and community. That is the truth! That’s why your PRAYERS will be EFFICACIOUS to make the change and difference for now, today and tomorrow.

“. . . 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses HELD UP HIS HAND, THAT ISRAEL PREVAILED: AND WHEN HE LET DOWN HIS HAND, AMALEK PREVAILED. 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur STAYED UP HIS HANDS, THE ONE ON THE ONE SIDE, AND THE OTHER ON THE OTHER SIDE; and his hands were STEADY until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua DISCOMFITED Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword . . .” Exodus 17:8-16

Christ is building His Church, you can be a part of it through prayers than being a sideline inspector, spectator and gossip talker and author of anarchy and schism. The society and community are so polarised today with all sorts of ills. The Church is on demand to bring the change but needs Kingdom grace today than ever before, to heal humanity and society.

“Continue in PRAYER, and WATCH in the same with thanksgiving; 3 WITHAL PRAYING ALSO FOR US, that God would open unto us a door of UTTERANCE, to SPEAK THE MYSTERY of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak” Colossians 4:2-4.

JUST PRAY, THE MORE! And God Will surely HEAL the LAND, and that needs of yours and that of the larger community and humanity will be met in grace.

LETS PRAY FOR OUR ECCLESIASTICAL LEADERS – AS OUR GOD BUILD HIS CHURCH THROUGH THEM

I pray you God’s grace and speed in this mantle of knowledge and understanding for your good in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“If I SHUT up heaven that there be NO rain, or if I command the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears ATTENT unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“PRAY FOR US: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” Hebrews 13:18.

“. . . 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED AND RESTORED. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:13-16 Amplified.

“. . . 23 And BEING LET GO, they went to THEIR OWN COMPANY, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24 And when they heard that, they LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: 25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, THAT WITH ALL BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK THY WORD, 30 by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS. 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all . . “ Acts 4:1-37.

THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services

THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services: The Need To ABOUND And ABASED In The Changing Times!

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

If we as a Church must be strenghtened, gracious and graceful in grace to keep on keeping on in our changing world by various factors that may come or show up as the PANDEMIC experience lockdown thought us – we must learn from Apostle Paul to ABOUND and ABASED in everyway. Delivering this generation unto our God is only going to be effective and result oriented as we awake from our set Man-Made dogmas and traditional made-up by-ways and static creeds. It’s time for the character check, a dynamic and charismatic acts of doing life with our generation in the new. For we can’t be ignorance of the devices and schemes of the enemy and cohorts in our time (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Acts 17:30-31).

I read a book many many years ago entitled “WHERE WAS THE CHURCH WHEN THE YOUTH EXPLODED”. The Church was sleeping then and took the youth of that generation for granted in not adapting to their changes of time to win them for the Lord. That generation gap created a vacuum that made many once thriving Church Worship Centres to become a deserted places, swimming pools, accommodation centres, hotels, dancing boardrooms and many such like. In fact I saw in my visit to a particular country of a formally used Church worship center turned into brothel and dance floor cum clubhouse. And so are many in their dilapidated and decadence state over time.

It’s true that the Building may not be the Church as in the above paragraph cases, but it was and is a relevant gathering place to grow the Churches over the years overtime. But for failure of the Churches then not creating, exploring, adapting, innovating and initiating avenues to know and understand their upcoming youth dimensions of travel, they lost a huge generation. The impact and effect has NEVER been recovered over the years. There’s a danger of spending resources on building architectural cathedrals while the people are not built up firstly spiritually and prepared also for adaptation of the challenges and changes in times. For there is time and purpose for everything under the sun and a pure understanding of times makes all the difference.

“And of the Children Of Issachar, which WERE MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“There is a SEASON (a time appointed) for everything and a TIME for every delight and event or PURPOSE under heaven . . . 11 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 3:1, 11 [1-11]/AMP.

It’s very imperative that the Churches today wakes up before the enemy sow tares that will corrupt and degrade the Church to a place of irrelevance and robbed of being the ANSWER to the generational changes of today’s world. We must, I say must, DELIVER THIS GENERATION of ours to God from the clutches and deception of Satan and Cohorts.

“SHALL THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MIGHTY, OR THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

If we must set the lawful captives free and deliver this generation unto our God, we must be awake and not be sleeping in the midst of the changing times to every phase of our doing life and living godly.

It’s time to ABOUND and ABASED, ABASED and ABOUND in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL” Ephesians 3:13-16.

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

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKENED UNTO A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 but WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

BLESSED PASSOVER . . . BLESSED REDEMPTION

April 20, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BLESSED PASSOVER . . . BLESSED REDEMPTION: POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION DEED!

I pray that as we’ve commemorated and celebrated the CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION, ASCENSION AND ENTHRONEMENT of our SAVIOUR KING and LORD, JESUS CHRIST – may you from now, in an onward and upward trajectory, begin to sing a NEW SONG as you ENACT and APPROPRIATE to POSSESS and AUTHENTIC your unconditional covenant redemption deed in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Know full well that when Jesus LED captivity captive, He RECEIVED GIFTS for men. And GAVE also GIFTS to men. And your name is named among men to share in this gracious act of REDEMPTION and it’s DEED for your clemency.

Our Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, on our behalf both RECEIVED and GAVE gifts to men:

*** RECEIVED SPIRITUAL COVENANTED GIFTS for all mankind to actualized their REDEMPTION in Him (Ephesians 1:1-14; Revelation 5:9-12).

*** And GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to perfect, mature the gifts given in affairs of mankind (Ephesians 4:7-16).

“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers . . .” Ephesians 4:8-16.

“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 . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

Herein is the consideration for ONLY of the RECEIVED COVENANT DEED in our REDEMPTION for your perusal. And there are SEVEN UNCONDITIONAL redemptive covenant deed RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ. THESE are summed up in these wise:

Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. – Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7. etc.
Riches (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. – 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; 3 John 2. etc.
Wisdom (Mental) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc. – James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc.
Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness and all ‘ness and infirmities etc. – Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc.
Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. – Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Timothy. 1:7. etc.
Glory (Beauty) – In place of shame, reproach, etc. Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9. etc.
Blessings (Grace) – The enabling and empowering virtue to thrive, succeed, achieve and become in life and godly living, in the places of curses, setbacks, stagnation, survival and more of such likes etc. – Ephesians. 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:3-4; John 10:10. etc.

LIVING FOR A PURPOSE

April 18, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVING FOR A PURPOSE: THAT’S WHAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE WITH GOD IN US IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.

You can only live a fulfilling life for a purpose, when you know and understand what your worth is, by God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11; Ecclesiastes 3:1 (1-11)]; and for what you are created and made to be of God in Christ Jesus.

“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” Revelations 4:12.

“For BY HIM were all things CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM” Colossians 1:16.

Some live in a small mind world that’s full of self; and all they do is talking, oppressing, controlling, dehumanising and analysing people, hence these groups are small minded people in worth. While some live in a large at heart mindset; and rather than wasting on irrelevant matters they live beyond walls of difference in SELFLESS LOVE, SELFLESS HOPE and SELFLESS FAITH; and are often burning the flames in them for the good CAUSES of God for others with their given resource of – TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [DEVICE], PEOPLE, EFFORT.

And until you come to know, understand and realise that you are created and made purely for the good of God’s PURPOSE and everything about you is of and for God CAUSES, you will be living for self and sentiments in small minds and small worlds.

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or PURPOSE under heaven . . . 11 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 3:1, 11 (1-11).

Therefore think and change for a good cause and become an agent of greater change, making a difference for the good of others beyond borders; and irrespective of class, gender, colour, culture and tongue.

Life WORTH is about living firstly with a selfless FAITH, HOPE And LOVE – And secondly toward advancing the Kingdom causes of God; and thirdly in keeping the Enemy and Cohorts at bay, for the good of others.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/AMP.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

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

“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” Revelations 4:12.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

April 18, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

So, watch out HOW you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile matters of GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO!

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

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

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

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION

April 17, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be BLESSED!

SELAH – PAUSE And Think!!

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW

April 17, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVES INDEED IN FREEDOM!

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self condemnation, the condemnation of demonic power and cohorts, the condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like.

“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE” John 8:1-11

It’s true that by the LAW OF GRAVITY, there’s the downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown up it falls by the gravitational pull. And it’s also true that by the LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences the buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely. In same scenario, it’s a high time to live FREE, enjoy true FREEDOM indeed that’s in Christ Jesus stead by the HIGHER LAW that overrides the natural laws of limitations and setbacks and failures; and these onward and upward trajectory leverage it’s irrespective of your past history of limitations, setbacks and failures. Once you are in Christ Jesus, your NEW DAY and NEW DAWN path to doing life and living godly is come in essence to God’s glory and praise. Amen.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP.

“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 [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP.

When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus indicates a much more HIGHER LAWS it’s in operations in you. The HIGHER LAW – is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more. [Romans 8:1-2].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that you take advantage of the NEW CREATION you of God in Christ Jesus, and live to enjoy daily the freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11.

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

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our SINS, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT evil world, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“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 [a]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.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION. 16 And as many as WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE, PEACE and MERCY be upon them, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16/NKJV.

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS

April 17, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT SUBSTANTIATES IN HOPE!

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

The FAITH that works and that’s EFFECTUAL – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the FAITH that SUBSTANTIATES in HOPE. Hence COMMUNICATE your FAITH in HOPE.

And by the PATIENCE of HOPE, you can keep FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, as you LABOUR in LOVE to SERVE in GRACE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-5.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 4-6.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 FOR OUR GOSPEL CAME NOT UNTO YOU IN WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 AND BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:16-25.
