FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT BEING:

June 15, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT BEING: WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING!

Today, I decided to go to our monthly TEACHING publication website – ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST – to feed my spirit being out of it with a publication that was pressing on and on in my spirit. Blessedly, I stumble at the publication which was AFD FEBRUARY 2021 EDITION entitled “GOD’S BATTLE AXE & WEAPONS OF WAR”. Then I came to a section called FAITH IN PRACTICE, to read a writ written by my wife Faith that is entitled “KEEP AT IT . . .”.

Though it was a short writ, yet, it was so inspiring, revealing and empowering that I stopped momentarily to ponder over the writ for a while; then I beckoned on her to come to the Office for a reading while I leave the vicinity to get on doing what she was doing for her to at least compensate; she was unaware while I called her to come to read something for herself with an instruction of not saying anything back to me afterward, just as I didn’t say anything about it to her for each to make individual work of grace on it respectively. She came to the office as expected and did read the writ twice as I did asked her to do. I guess she might have read it more than twice because she stayed longer than I thought considering it’s a short writ knowing her proficiency to reading; and she later came off the office in awe and I looked at her face knowing some awakening and good is going on just as I felt too.

Having said the above, I felt constrained to put it up in my spirit to give someone here something to ponder about. I pray you will be blessed by this piece of writ by my wife FAITH entitled:

KEEP AT IT . . .

Choose to work smart than to work hard. Diligence involves working consistently in order to gain a valuable skill.

If you want to learn to play the piano, 15 minutes a day, each day of practice is much more beneficial than two hours on one day, and then another one a half hours a few days later followed by an hour the following week and so on. In-fact, this is what a music teacher is likely to advise you to do. In my case, evidently as I felt that I didn’t have enough time to practice every day, I did it whenever I could. Ages later – I still couldn’t play a reasonable tune. Wasted time and effort. Be consistent, be diligent, be intentional in your bid to become a master in a skill.

In the same way – because the goal for you as a child of God is a great relationship with Father God, spend quality time in fellowship and prayer rather than binge prayer sessions now and again or when the need arises. This normally refers to when people have a problem and frantically seek for answers. God is still faithful but you are not doing yourself any favors. You could have a healthy, fulfilling relationship that would be of benefit to your whole life.

Psalm 16:11 . . . You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Hebrews 11:6 . . . for whoever comes [near] to God must necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.

Proverbs 22:29 . . . Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work? He will stand [in honour] before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.

Short, quality periods in conversation with the Lord are effective in growing in your spiritual walk and life. You can spend a lot of time too – but do this all the time and KEEP AT IT. On a daily basis for example. The good thing is that you do not need a designated venue, position or time – or to face a particular direction at a certain volume. Right where you are is good enough. Daily strategic reading and studying of the Word of God is beneficial – if 20 minutes is all you have to begin with, start there and then keep doing it. Wake up earlier if that is possible, schedule your time to fit your devotional time. Invest time into a flourishing spiritual walk.

The spirit that conquers is the one that vows to get the job done, starts and keeps at it until it is done. There may be challenges along the way, but the key is in keeping at it and not giving up.

Matthew 6:33 . . . seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

Hebrews 5:14 . . . Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Diligence means to work smart – not work hard – Other examples of the benefits of consistency and diligence are:

Being on a diet. Don’t be on diet as it were – but choose for it to be a lifestyle. It then means that it is not for a limited period of time – it becomes a lifestyle and is for lifetime.
A 4 hour exercise session once a week or month cannot take place of daily exercise. Fitness trainers will tell you that 30 minutes a day for 5 days of the week is more effective than exercising here and there for long periods of time.
Drinking your daily allowance of water – say 2 litres all in one go is neither healthy nor beneficial. Spread it out, that is how healthy absorption is attained.

So be diligent; be consistent. There is great reward in it.

God’s love – AGAPE, it’s the vitality you need to do life and live through any phase of human endeavors by FAITH. The reason being – the Love of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS – the human spirit – by the Holy Ghost, and it’s not of our head else it’s PERVERSION; and God has COMMENDED His LOVE toward us in Christ Jesus, which is makes it awesome and graciously gracious – Romans 5:5,8.

“He that LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT God; for GOD IS LOVE . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that DWELLETH in love DWELLETH in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE casteth out fear: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:8, 16-18.

DON’T BE AN ECHO: BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

June 14, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DON’T BE AN ECHO: BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!

“For the EYES of the Lord run TO and FRO throughout the whole earth, to SHEW himself STRONG in the behalf of them whose HEART is PERFECT toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9.

The Holy Scriptures of 2 Corinthians 5:19-21, declares that you are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus and an ambassador for Christ; Meaning, you are God’s VESSEL OF CHANGE for right living on earth as His Embassy and Ambassador (2 Timothy 2:19-21). God uses vessels and not ornaments. God needs and uses availability vessels to put in His ability into such – in order to make the needed DIFFERENCE in humanity in our world; God does not need vessels that are of self-ability that needs not His enabling for the good of others in His stead. Be wise to be that God’s VOICE – making the difference in humanity.

“. . . 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR . . .” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

Righteousness, the right to stand before God and on His behalf without fear, shame or guilt because of what Christ is done, is wired and imbedded in the DNA of your being, when you resolved to be a born again child of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:17-21.

It is this right of grace that made John the Baptist, be the vessel of change to his generation. He dared to be the voice for righteousness, him being of God’s righteousness.

“. . . The WORD of the Lord CAME to John . . . THE VOICE . . .” Luke 3:1-18.

Dear Friend, let us silence the spirit of cowardice in our life’s to our generation for we are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus; therefore, let us dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in our families, neighborhood, places of doing life and in our position of noble grace and opportunities.

Endeavour to be APPROVED of God as His VOICE on earth making the DIFFERENCE toward others by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rather than being an echo that’s lives on the HYPE and APPLAUD of men for self-gratification and ego. God seek for vessels and not ornaments, and for your availability and not ability in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY AND AMBASSADOR – BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMANITY IN OUR WORLD.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS.

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 18 And all things ARE of God, who HATH reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass [Adam’s sin] there resulted condemnation for all men, even so through one act of RIGHTEOUSNESS there resulted justification of life to [a]all men. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience [his failure to hear, his carelessness] the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one Man the many will be made righteous and acceptable to God and brought into right standing with Him. 20 But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21 Amplified.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER

June 13, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES an TEMPTATIONS? Then be HAPPY, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it GROW, and don’t try to SQUIRM OUT of your problems. For when your PATIENCE is finally in FULL BLOOM, then you will be READY for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4 (Living Bible TLB).

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER.

Know full well and assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is – an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you are assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“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.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“For WHATSOEVER is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT.

I pray that our good and faithful, true and sure God, will keep you in grace and strengthen you courageously and keep you keeping on in faith, in Christ Jesus stead – until your BLESSEDNESS in Him is actualized meaningfully and purposefully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified).

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-3. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME AFFLICTIONS ARE ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR BRETHREN THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 Emphasis Mine.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; (for He is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 Cast Not Away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall LIVE by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the SAVING of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH: IS COMMUNICATING THE WORD!

June 12, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH: IS COMMUNICATING THE WORD!

“And you shall know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

A mere act of being religious, ceremonious and relying on motivational positive thinking and speaking forth intent may momentarily make one feel good and be excited and enthusiastic toward one’s desire for a while; but it can’t LIBERATE one neither can it give one the GENUINE in-born FREEDOM of the FAITH on ‘THE TRUTH’; for the TRUTH is only possible in God’s WORD and stationed in the human spirit. For you are born of God, it’s needful to COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH in context – and the TRUTH is THE WORD and it’s efficacious in the now and always, as you enact it scripturally to be well and whole in LIFE and GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING.

Communication could be verbal or in action, through any formats of reaching out to meet matters of self or others about us. When you communicate THE WORDS of this life as Acts 5:20 suggests, we should do, that is, to speak ‘THE TRUTH’ not just TRUTH. For only ‘THE TRUTH’ known and spoken can SET one FREE and bring forth the LIBERATION, TRIUMPH, VICTORY and such like, that one needs to do and live life effectually and efficiently in Christ Jesus stead.

THE TRUTH, which is THE WORD, is spirit and life; and hence, a life giver and life giving, when communicated in TRUTH, as the Holy Writ does indicates – John 6:63. More so, the Ministering spirits – the Angelic messengers – of our God unto us, only LISTEN or HARKEN to ‘THE VOICE OF THE WORD’ and nothing else, in carrying out their angelic services concerning us and all. They are in the ministering services to listen to the noise and shouting around except the THE WORD that personifies THE TRUTH. So, communicate THE TRUTH, THE WORD if you want to enjoy the angelic ministry of God in our time as enjoined Scripturally. Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20.

When you communicate THE WORD, which is THE TRUTH, you are communicating JESUS personified. He is THE TRUTH, and He is THE WORD. The article ‘THE’ in the context “THE WORD, THE TRUTH, personified Jesus. And what that means is this – that what Jesus Christ, would have done presently and physically if he was in humanity before you right now, is what THE WORD, THE TRUTH will and would do for you NOW and ALWAYS, as Him present with you. Hebrews 13:8. THINK ABOUT IT.

That’s the reason, when you read the Holy Bible, don’t read it as you would have read any other book, because the Holy Spirit, the author, is ever present, to personified the Scriptures literally for your good in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. You then read the Bible in the FACE of JESUS personified in your inner being to enable you AUTHENTICATE and ENACT the SCRIPTURES, otherwise, you will only be filled with passion, knowledge of ‘THE WORD’ and not having the UNDERSTANDING of the application that brings about the needed ‘THE TRUTH’ to make life simplified. John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7; John 14:6; John 8:32.

Know full well, that it is only by the “THE TRUTH” one know of “THE WORD” that SETS one FREE; and that also GIVES one the needed LIBERATION from destruction and the HEALINGS in every facets of one’s being in Christ Jesus stead. The TRUTH gives THE LIFE needed to thrive in God in Christ Jesus, gives THE LIGHT to illuminate one from the errors of darkness and the darkness of life; and shows one THE WAY and THE PATH of God in Christ Jesus, to do life and live godly, in order to enjoy the very best and fullness of God. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18; John 1:1-5.

And the FAITH to overcome the world system comes by THE WORD. Meaning, a no – THE WORD, means a no FAITH, because there’s a no – THE TRUTH, which is needed to communicate to the HEAVENLY for our EARTHLY affairs to be resolved SCRIPTURALLY. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5. It worth pondering if I were you.

Just know today and always, that – communicating THE TRUTH, is about communicating THE WORD, leading to knowing THE WAY and experiencing THE LIGHT. Hence, there is the NEED to know and understand – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people, all The Words of this life” Acts 5:20.

“And you shall know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

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

“He sent HIS WORD, and HEALED them, and DELIVERED them from their DESTRUCTIONS” Psalms 107:20.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not anything made that was made. 4 In HIM was life; and THE LIFE was THE LIGHT of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . .14 And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.

“Thou wilt shew me THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“But THE PATH of THE JUST is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

“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.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“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.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND

June 12, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND – POSSIBLE BY OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: THAT’S WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH end as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realize in course of time in dealing with many in the FAITH-BASED SURGERY COUNSELING on day by day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in PRINCIPLE the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the main switchboard.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and HAVING IN A READINESS TO REVENGE ALL DISOBEDIENCE, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

It was in OBEDIENCE that our Saviour and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:1-10.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believers have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old trick attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their lives. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of obeying the heavenly mandate. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in every way and places. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17.

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfillment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we made to inherit of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – 1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY Demand which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to measure and legislate spirituality in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfill PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1Timothy 6:3-6.

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS IN PROSPERITY, and their YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in burnt OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and TO HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is AS the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED the word of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 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 2:5, 9-10.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST

June 11, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.

“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.

All simply because this Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationized Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to color our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fullness of our God and well-being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.

WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.

CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!

AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!

CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“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 . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

“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.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (Give Up, Lose Heart, Discourage”) Luke 18:1. (Emphasis Mine).

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be BOUND (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be LOOSED (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:18-20 Amplified.

“[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength 20 which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above ALL RULE and AUTHORITY and POWER and DOMINION [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 22 And He put ALL THINGS [in every realm] in SUBJECTION under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head OVER ALL THINGS in the church, 23 which is His body, the FULLNESS of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]” Ephesians 1:17-23 Amplified.

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH

June 11, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH: JESUS CHRIST – THE COMPLETE SHEPHERD!

The Church is defined as an individual, local and collective body of born again Spirit-filled believer’s in Christ Jesus under a shepherd. And our Saviour And Lord Jesus Christ is the COMPLETE Shepherd of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH and you can count and account on Him in 24/7 timeless time in life and grace. And it’s awesome, gracious and graceful to know that the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD and PERSONAL SHEPHERD of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS Church is Jesus Christ – who is our Saviour King and Lord of All.

The Holy Scriptures enjoined that He is to us – THE CHURCH – as individual and collective body:

*** The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

“And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away”.

*** The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”

*** The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .14 I am the GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”.

*** My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” Psalms 23:1-6.

When you can comprehend this, there is no need to worry, live in fear and despondent because He’s ever faithful to who and what He is as our CHIEF, GREAT and GOOD SHEPHERD.

I pray that the BLESSEDNESS of having the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD AND PERSONAL SHEPHERD over you, should keep your heads up, shoulder high and heels high; more so, the mandate to triumph over all your infirmities, limitations and CIRCUMSTANCES in your day to day in LIFE and GODLINESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

June 10, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“And ye have FORGOTTEN the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, DESPISE not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons” Hebrews 12:5-8.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which would rather help them amend, brace up, mature and grow; they don’t realized the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues and those you love and cares about:

1.*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ – helps to DELIVER and SAVE – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

*** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ – helps to MOLD and AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

*** Love that PROTECTS – helps to COVERS, OVERLOOKS, MAKES UP and to EMANCIPATES from further sins and errors – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for LOVE shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. 4 LOVE endures with patience and serenity, LOVE is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; LOVE does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. 5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 LOVE bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13 Amplified.
