Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL: An IDOL Is – ANYTHING – REVERED AND BELIEVED Other Than Almighty God!

Many times in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD as reference in the Acts of the Apostle with consequences Acts 12:20-23; and heaven help those who helped themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms, they have to help themselves, and God can then follow suit in their terms if He really loves and cares about them. Then I pause most times and say – Really? as I asked why such a myth in people – if it’s ignorance, foolishness and stupidity. It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE than that of God as written in 1 Samuel 15:1-35 and 1 Samuel 10:18-20. We all know how it ended for him.

I want you to know for sure and true, that God is a God of PRINCIPLE and not of SENTIMENTS nor of a METHOD. He only operate within His WORD and not by human sentiments, emotions and methodology. So, in any emotions and methodology, which are common to mere men for sentimental reasons and values, God is not there, for He will only action where His WORD is the STAND, in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, meaning God is not PLEASE to get involved with such decisions at all. Hence making the VOICE of men your tool, makes you live outside God’s principle of BLESSEDNESS and abounding LOVE for His PURPOSE. GOD ONLY CONFIRM HIS WORD AND NOTHING ELSE. You need to always THINK about that before you make any decision in LIFE and GRACE.

And to have a VOICE, some will – religiously and or politically and for any leadership positions, kill or do any form of evil,  wickedness and such likes to promote and certify the CAUSES and SENTIMENTS of their adored IDOL or ICON to indicate their allegiance; also, go any length to gratify that position of dignity and honour irrespective of what the person is doing or have done. And this you find happening both WITHIN the CHURCH as in the WORLD to meet the course of that leadership and governance – unfortunately some will welcome such ADORATION in the name of a godly and good causes in terms.

These acts of giving addicted REVERED and BELIEVED to your acclaimed IDOLS or ICONS has a deadly effect especially in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING, for a Christian and the Church of God. And same like, as to the one who is RECEIVING and ALLOWING such OVATION of men to overtake the place of God. And I wish people knows about the EFFECT, that it could be deadly.

And the fact that the sovereign and almighty God is slow to act accordingly in some occasions to authenticate his jealousy against these stupidity and acts of His glory being shared or equated and taken, does not mean He’s not aware or jealous as a jealous God visiting the iniquity of such behaviour. He’s still a jealous God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and will act appropriately in his own time.

For so was Herod (King) Agrippa the first, who made himself God and took glory of God to satisfy the VOICE of the people. He paid deadly for it and none could stop God.

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrants God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere not but learn a lesson from these three wise counts below in order not to be sentimental as in these scriptural instructions:

** Between Apostle John and the Angel – Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:6-9.

** Between Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia – Acts 14:8-15.

** Between Apostle Peter and Cornelius – Acts 10:25-27.

And if this legend of Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS to please men APPLAUD but they lean solely on God’s APPROVAL as in Jesus Christ stead – Act 2:22; why are you so OBSESSED of your life position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation, applaud or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class indicates how insecure you are in what you crave for otherwise you will to be contented in the enabling grace provision of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2.

I urge you to keep away from IDOLS and let none make you one! Idols are spirits, spirits acts as gods. And gods are demonic. The end is deadly now or later. REPENT!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now Herod [Agrippa I] was EXTREMELY ANGRY with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and their delegates came to him in a united group, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain [to support their cause], they asked for peace, because their country was fed by [imports of grain and other goods from] the king’s country. 21 On an appointed day Herod DRESSED HIMSELF IN HIS ROYAL ROBES, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people. 22 The assembled people kept shouting, “IT IS THE VOICE OF A GOD AND NOT OF A MAN!” 23 And at once an ANGEL of the Lord STRUCK him down because he did not GIVE God the glory [and instead PERMITTED himself to be worshiped], and he was eaten by worms and died [five days later]” Acts 12:20-23 (Amplified).

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“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

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS: What’s An IDOL/IDOLATRY – It’s ANYTHING!

“Therefore, my beloved, RUN [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] IDOLATRY [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]. 15 I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say” 1 Corinthians 10:14-15 Amplified.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

Idol and Idolatry are nouns. Meaning they are personified – which indicates they have characteristics and behavioural acts and effects. And are not just demonic but spirits at work passively in some people and places, thereby creating the essence of addictions, suffering, poverty, setbacks and such like, that leads to further bondages. Their likeness and difference can be connotes as this:

** An IDOL is a graven image or representation of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or BELIEVED to convey spiritual power, essence and being.

** An IDOLATRY is the worship of IDOLS. It connotes the WORSHIP and SERVING (rendering services) of SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than God as if it were God.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 (Amplified).

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

“Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 19 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that AN IDOL IS ANYTHING? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEMONS [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You CANNOT drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of DEMONS. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]. 22 Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply [a]offend Him.]” 1 Corinthians 10:18-22 (Amplified).

Keep Yourself From IDOLS

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Keep Yourself From IDOLS: What Is It About IDOLS And ICONS – The Relationship Between IDOLS And ICONS!

“. . . 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who ARE ye? . . .” Acts 19:13-20.

I believe in life, there’s the goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people or someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to become what you wants to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus. But to REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly to be ABOVE and EQUAL to God, and secondly to loose the essence of your OWN WELL BEING and WORTH, in order to BECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, stupidity, ignorance and foolishness but bondage, demonic and satanic. So while being close to any or looking up to any, let it be through the mirror of the WORD in Christ Jesus stead, and by the promptings of the indwelling Holy Spirit, so that you don’t derail when such a one does and go off the glamour light ray that you’ve become accustomed to with such a person or group – knowingly and unknowingly. James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:22-25; Hebrews 12:1-2; Hebrews 1:1-4; Galatians 4:8-16.

Why so, or such a fuss anyway? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON; and all these, is in order to make them feel to belong with a sense of VALUE, as the saying goes – tell me your friend and they will tell you how much you WORTH and can be CHARACTERISED. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replace God with human’s and things; and some sects hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for self KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions in our worlds and Churches today as Bereän Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity – Acts 17:10-12.

And for these deceptions in IDOLS and ICONS, many have given REVERED and BELIEVED as to what they SAY or DO as the norms or more important to them. And this have influenced our worlds and Churches in many ways. It’s effect has led many to all forms of BELIEVE and bondages with little or no self-WORTH anymore except what the adored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly.

Herein is a likely knowhow to their likeness and representations:

** An IDOL is usually from my previous post a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or PERSON and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it DEPICTS – in power or and essence.

** An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to God but no to a god, but if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either ways you attributes an essence of praying to God but it’s to gods – which scripturally is demonic and spirits (spiritism).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32 (Amplified).

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:19-21 (Amplified).

“Howbeit then, when ye KNEW NOT God, ye did SERVICE unto them which by NATURE are NO GODS. 9 But now, after that ye have KNOWN God, or rather ARE KNOWN of God, HOW TURN YE AGAIN to the weak and BEGGARLY ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye OBSERVE DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but RECEIVED ME AS AN ANGEL of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 Where is then the BLESSEDNESS ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you THE TRUTH?” Galatians 4:8-16.

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST – THE ONLY GENUINE HOPE – FOR YOUR SALVATION

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST – THE ONLY GENUINE HOPE – FOR YOUR SALVATION: IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING!

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“I am not ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in THE GOSPEL the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 (Amplified).

“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.

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL

July 8, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said, that your WORTH in Him is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances makes you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus; and not before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity; and not even before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth definition is not in men. Know for certainty that YOU ARE MORE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY. You ARE CHOSEN, you ARE ROYAL, you ARE HOLY, you ARE PECULIAR, you ARE CALLED, and have RECEIVED and OBTAINED mercy.

You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE LABEL to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created, that is, reverently made. You ARE God made. You ARE of God’s cornerstone that’s fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS, don’t demean your WORTH for the less. Know full well, there’s an answer to your prayers, for God is able and faithful to meet up with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you are patience – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in TIMELESS realm of possibility not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH which is a necessity tool of timeless realm in Him, is paramount importance to engaged with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God will meet you up at that point of possibility realm – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

Dust off yourself right now, head up and raise your shoulder high and put on your high heels of redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS wherein comes the ANSWERS and not the QUESTIONS as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine, go forth and shine, for your light is come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.

Be Blessed – Meaning – Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Colour and be meaningfully Fulfilled.

YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).

“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).

“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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“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.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

July 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!

“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.

Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed,  persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.

And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.

And a  person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.

I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.

PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY. . . “ Acts 8:1-20.

“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.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7.

THE MANDATE OF COMPLETENESS

THE MANDATE OF COMPLETENESS: BEING CONSCIOUS OF BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS!

Don’t be MISTAKEN by any for whatsoever – for you ARE COMPLETE in Christ Jesus – and that SETTLES it all about doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY; but to ensure your BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, you must live unreservedly in BEING CONSCIOUS of your BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS in your daily stead of Him.

For Jesus Christ, is the GOSPEL, POWER and SANCTIFICATION; and REDEMPTION, RIGHTEOUSNESS and WISDOM of God for ALL human SALVATION in all of life terms and it’s not limited in any measure to only the following: Health, Peace, Safety, Strenght, Security, Deliverance, Prosperity, Triumph, Victory, Fulfilment, Completeness, Peacefulness, Joyfulness, Perfectness, Purposefulness, Meaningfulness and such like.

I charge you in today and month mandate to live unreservedly in BEING CONSCIOUS of your BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS in your daily stead of Him.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:10.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“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. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:23-25, 30-31.

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5.

Amen. 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5.

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH, even as thy SOUL PROSPERETH” 3 John 1:2.

“BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so fulfil the law of Christ . . . 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:3, 9-10.

“When the SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an HUNGRED, and ye gave me meat: I was THIRSTY, and ye gave me drink: I was a STRANGER, and ye took me in: 36 NAKED, and ye clothed me: I was SICK, and ye visited me: I was in PRISON, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when SAW we thee an HUNGRED, and fed thee? or THIRSTY, and gave thee drink? 38 When SAW we thee a STRANGER, and took thee in? or NAKED, and clothed thee? 39 Or when SAW we thee SICK, or in PRISON, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have DONE it unto one of the LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, ye have done it unto me” Matthew 25:31-40.
