SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou art MY BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“For God did not give us a SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY OR COWARDICE OR FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF SOUND JUDGMENT AND PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with ASSURANCE and BOLDNESS to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [DREAD does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love DRIVES OUT FEAR, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

February 6, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE; and for AN HELMET, the HOPE of salvation” 1 Thessalonians 5:8.

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all of your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed. Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in everyway. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

February 5, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: IT’S ABOUT FAITHFULNESS IN SOMEONE ELSE ENTRUSTED BUSINESS!

“And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a PROSPEROUS man; and he was in the house of his MASTER the Egyptian. 3 And his MASTER saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he DID to PROSPER IN HIS HAND” Genesis 39:1-3.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye HAVE NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER MAN’S, who shall GIVE you that which is YOUR OWN?” Luke 16:10-12.

One great PRINCIPLED hallmark requirements for any Christian who wants to PROSPER and have GOOD SUCCESS by and with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, is to be found FAITHFUL in someone else ENTRUSTED business and or works in goods and or services. It’s called the principle of STEWARDSHIP otherwise MANAGEMENT.

It’s a requirement that in STEWARDSHIP, a steward be found FAITHFUL, responsible and accountable in the PRINCIPLE of an ENTRUSTED position of someone else’s business – be it in goods and or services, irrespective of whether the ENTRUSTED business is own by a Christian or a non Christian.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED IN STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

The enemy and cohorts lies of saying that the riches of the Gentiles belongs to you in order to live UNFAITHFUL, IRRESPONSIBLE and UNACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of someone else’s ENTRUSTED business, doesn’t hold waters in the kingdom cause of our God.

And you can’t make EXCUSES of it because you are bringing the PROCEEDS to the house of God with such level of inappropriate disobedient to the word of God as King Saul did in Biblical days (1 Samuel 15:22-23) and or Ananias and Sapphira in the Epistles (Acts 5:1-11).

Faithfulness to the cause of stewardship in another’s ENTRUSTED business in the outlay PRINCIPLE is as found in the following but not limited:

* God is FAITHFUL in Himself – 1 Corinthians 1:9.

* Jesus in humanity was FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:1-2.

* Moses was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:3-5.

* Abraham was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Galatians 3:8-9.

* Daniel was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Daniel 6:4.

* Timotheus was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – 1 Corinthians 4:16-17.

* Apostle Paul was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – 1 Timothy 1:12-13.

*. . . and many such like FAITHFULNESS in STEWARDSHIP in the Scriptures.

CAN YOU BE CONSIDERED FAITHFUL OR BE FOUND FAITHFUL IN STEWARDSHIP IN ANOTHER’S ENTRUSTED BUSINESS?

Many people WANTS God to prosper and keep PROSPERING THE WORKS OF THEIR HANDS while in their UNFAITHFULNESS in the principle of someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs – in goods and services. You found this onward and upward trajectory behaviour in many places of EMPLOYMENT – where people behaviour helps to run the business down; and when you give them OPPORTUNITY to serve – they ruin it; ask them to TAKE CHARGE of things – they steal from it; ask them to LOOK AFTER a business – they become authoritarian to their subordinates; give them access to GOVERN OR LEAD in government – they loot the treasury and undermine governance; and same UNFAITHFUL behaviour in many other such like; and yet these unfaithfulness in STEWARDSHIP will wants God to prosper them, which otherwise will never happen because God will always uphold His WORD, in everyway of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In God, it’s about FAITHFULNESS and OBEDIENCE to the PRINCIPLE of any given opportune task over someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs be it in any form of good and services, as applicable to – Ministry, Family, Enterprises, Governance, Leadership, Management and such like more – and this is what actually defines our opportunity to own ours. How we deal with the ENTRUSTED services and goods in terms of materials, finance, equipment, people (staff), time, and such like that’s allocated to our care defines if we will definitely have our own materialised before us by the FAITHFUL God that have called us to the COMMUNION of STEWARDSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will be found FAITHFUL as STEWARD alias MANAGER’S in someone else’s ENTRUSTED business affairs in our path of doing life and living godly, such that ours will come to REALITY before us, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but YOU shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will make YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

Do you want a healthy and continuous flow of God’s LOVE with His unlimited, assured and insured warranty or guarantee? Then stay on and ABIDE in the WORD. This will cause your FAITH to Work for your good I earnestly assure and guarantee you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 in you, and that your JOY MIGHT BE FULL” (John 15:7-11)

THE WORD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

February 5, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE WORD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT: THE ANSWER TO AND FOR YOUR INHERITANCE IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING!

“And take the helmet of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God” Ephesians 6:17 AMPLIFIED.

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and full of POWER [making it OPERATIVE, ENERGISING, and EFFECTIVE]. It is SHARPER than any two-edged SWORD, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], EXPOSING and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His SIGHT, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 AMPLIFIED.

“In the beginning [before all time] was THE WORD (Christ), and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The LIGHT shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not UNDERSTAND it or OVERPOWER it or APPROPRIATE it or ABSORB it [and is unreceptive to it]” John 1:1-5 AMPLIFIED.

MONTH FEBRUARY 2024 – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE

February 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY 2024 – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you cant talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16].

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crosses my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian walk of faith in Christ Jesus.

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

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and it’s effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22].

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effects on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE.

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

And when I began to embarks on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personified the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says, He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEMED us, He LOVED us as written:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6.

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32].

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul’s also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead.

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12].

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead.

MONTH FEBRUARY – ABOUT PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

February 2, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – ABOUT PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH – FOR YOUR PROSPERITY IN HIM!

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that FAVOUR my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be MAGNIFIED, which hath PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27 (Galatians 5:13).

You are BLESSED of God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, UNCONDITIONALLY – Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:3-6; 3 John 1:2. And to be BLESSED of God is to be empowered to PROSPER, SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME and SUCH-LIKE, in life and grace. However, to enact and authenticate the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus as regards prospering you and I, there’s the need to have, know and understand the works of your hands. For God will only prosper the Works of your hands to prosper you – meaning – NO WORK OF YOUR HANDS, NO PROSPERITY in Christ Jesus stead. God does no magic for He’s not a magician neither does God do confusion because He’s not confused and not the author of confusion as we see in many places by those seeking a microwave instant answers. Suffix to know that God’s BLESSEDNESS and MIRACLES as some may crave, are the consequences of His WORD – there’s no BUT or IF in it.

I also wants you to know that our uncreated creator and almighty God does HEARS and ANSWERS to PRAYERS – Psalms 65:2; Proverbs 15:29. So, the place of prayers and fastings as an act of fellowship to enhance our relationship with God is imperative, incomprehensible, indescribable and unspeakable in every known and unknown respect with God, by the Holy Spirit, in the BLESSEDNESS of His word, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 6:5-8, 16-18.

However, as important as the act of PRAYERS and FASTING are – God can only PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS and not by a mere act of praying and fasting to overshadow our place of being principled in taking responsibility and accountability through diligence and prudence by wisdom, to bring about the reality of our BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus mean that:

*GOD DOES NOT PROSPER NOTHING – NEITHER DOES HE PROSPER EMPTINESS OR IDLENESS.

*THERE’S NO PLACE FOR A VACUUM WITH GOD TO PROSPER YOU.

There’s the need for inward look before an outward look as Isaiah 6:1-9 teaches us, to enable an individual to have a profound insights and foresight trajectory to their place in life and grace with God in Christ Jesus stead. For an inward discovery will definitely give an outward recovery no matter how much you think that you have elapsed with time. God is always on time with us and never late in His purpose to work out for our good and goodness. Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Philippians 1:6.

That we are born of God, blessed of God, chosen of God, predestinated of God and such like in our REDEMPTION, doesn’t give the rights and privileges of laziness, slothfulness and idleness in the kingdom cause of our God or living in a WISHY-WASHY lifestyle. Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:2-4; 3 John 1:2.

Just know for the record that God doesn’t prosper nothing and God doesn’t prosper laziness and God doesn’t prosper a no work in your hands otherwise any such teaching, prophecy, perception, intuition and messages it’s a counterfeit, fake, adulterated and contradictory to the, authority, fulness and authenticity to the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the WORD of God in all ramifications of doing life and living godly under God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. But God will lift any person from poverty and obscurity to prosperity and good success in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Joshua 1:8; 1 Samuel 2:7-9.

Jesus WORK the WORKS of Father God that sent Him and for three and half years after thirty years of preparation in knowing and understanding the works on and of His hands, He PROSPERED by God to fulfill PURPOSE and the CAUSE for which He came to the world, born of a woman as you and I. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37.

Therefore, give God something to work with – TILL YOUR LAND AND WATCH GOD PROSPER YOU ACCORDINGLY. For He PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

“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.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH – We STAND In GRACE By FAITH: And We ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus!

“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.

Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ Jesus, we are given ACCESS by same FAITH to Father God, upon the GRACE wherein our REDEMPTION was CERTIFIED for us, and made us QUALIFIED, to enable us STAND TRIUMPHANTLY as transferred, transformed and translated from the Kingdom of darkness darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son – Lords and Saviour Jesus Christ; and to TAKE and MAKE a STAND, into the DEED of God, that MADE us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER [GRIPS] of DARKNESS and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED, TRANSFERRED, TRANSFORMED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

And the most awesome and amazing POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is the knowing that you ARE:

*** FORGIVEN from SIN and all SIN effects by God IN Christ Jesus.

*** ACQUITTED from All wrongs IN Christ Jesus.

**** QUALIFIED and JUSTIFIED in God’s grace in Christ Jesus’ stead.

*** RECEIVED back to GLORY and VIRTUE IN Christ Jesus.

For to being JUSTIFIED is to be DISCHARGED, ACQUITTED and DECLARED RIGHTEOUS – because of what Jesus Christ has done on our behalf, in God’s REDEMPTION did for us, in all about LIFE and GODLINESS. Amen.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.

You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . .3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23
