August 4, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE PROMISES OF GOD – EVER SURE: YOU CAN BANK ON IT TODAY & ALWAYS!

Step into the day with HOPE and ASSURANCE in FAITH that WORKS through LOVE, because the PROMISES of God are ever sure and true. You can BANK on His PROMISSORY NOTE to you, because God is FAITHFUL to all His promises, and your momentary delay does not mean His denial of you for sure – He will be on time. Philippians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 10:23; Galatians 5:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5.

God plays no gimmicks as men neither with men. And of two immutability of His counsel – in order to authenticate with assurances to His PROMISES, He has taken an oath in His NAME and His WORD; that’s to say – He can’t and won’t lie, and can’t begin one with you now or ever. His PROMISES to us are EVER SURE And STEADFAST. Hebrews 6:16-20; Numbers 23:19, 23.

In order to authenticate that God is faithful, true and ever sure, He has GIVEN us the Holy Spirit as a SEALED of ownership which also is His PLEDGED to GUARANTEE as DOWN payment and SECURITY DEPOSIT to His promises. 2 Corinthians 1:20-21.

When you are ASSURED of this INSURED act of God, you need not allow worry and anxiety to rule and own your day. It’s your moment to STAND upright, STEP on, HEAD up and straight, SHOULDER high and HEELS high to win your day. Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:13-15.

You Can BANK On God’s PROMISES To You Today – Therefore, CHECK IN That HEAVENLY PROMISSORY NOTE and Live joyfully.

May every grace and blessings that are yours in Christ Jesus abound more and more.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“For men verily SWEAR by THE GREATER: and an OATH FOR CONFIRMATION is to them an END of all strife. 17 Wherein God, WILLING MORE ABUNDANTLY to shew unto the HEIRS OF PROMISE THE IMMUTABILITY OF HIS COUNSEL, CONFIRMED IT BY AN OATH: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS, in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to LIE, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as AN ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us ENTERED, even Jesus, MADE an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:16-20.

“For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who ESTABLISHES US with you in Christ and has ANOINTED US is God, 22 who also has SEALED US and GIVEN US the Spirit in our hearts as a GUARANTEE” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which you HAVE RECEIVED from Him ABIDES in you, and you do not need that anyone TEACH you; but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHES you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has TAUGHT you, you will ABIDE in Him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

“Let us hold fast the PROFESSION (CONFESSION) of our hope without WAVERING, for He who promised is FAITHFUL” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is NOT A MAN, that he should lie; NEITHER the son of man, that he should repent: hath he SAID, and shall he not DO it? or hath he SPOKEN, and shall he not MAKE IT GOOD? . . .23 Surely there is no ENCHANTMENT AGAINST Jacob, neither is there any DIVINATION AGAINST Israel: ACCORDING TO THIS TIME it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Numbers 23:19, 23.

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

“These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: 15 and if we know that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER we ASK, we know that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:13-15.

AUGUST2015 – WHEN AT CROSSROADS TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE!

Are you at crossroads on defining which life PATH to follow in order to AUGUST? I know of someone who owns life and had defined it because He had experience it too and AUGUST many innumerable life’s. HIS NAME IS JESUS.

Just call on Him right now today, and you will never be the same again. The reason being that He’s the same person today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow for your well-being.

Knowing this, that your secret, innermost path will define or show you up one day; and the beauty and shining light you desire of yourself today is imbedded, made, and defined already by the secret path of yesterday.

You can start afresh again, don’t give up. For God is able in Christ Jesus stead to make it all well for you again.

AUGUST2015: AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE!

You are a PRODUCT of your life PATH. It’s not the end that justify the means as popularly said, but in essence, in life and in the kingdom of God principles, it’s the PATH that defines your eventual outcome.

You tomorrow is a product of your today. Your DILIGENCE PATH in your TODAY will surely evolve the KING in you TOMORROW. So THINK and AUGUST your life rightly in grace and godliness.

God rewards DILIGENCE. Make it your footsteps and footprints to greatness.

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH: ITS TIME TO MAKE A NEW YOU START – BEAR YOUR OWN YOKE – IF NOT HAPPY AT HOME!

It’s AUGUST – the Month 8; Adam START UP On The day 8th, while God RESTED on the day 7th after creation, as in Genesis – The Holy Scriptural Book of Beginning.

Do you think Parents are harassing and bothering you? and you think you are a grown adult? then it’s time to be PRINCIPLED and then shoulder adult RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY – and all bothering problems will be resolved. Otherwise, don’t complain. You can’t lay claims to be treated as an adult with a childish and childishness behaviour. Just be informed – No parents take or tolerate such double standard.

If YOKE is easy and parents are TROUBLESOME, let the YOUTH give it a go without complains and murmurs. You can GET or CREATE a job, it’s all worth it for your yoke bearing while its day before the night of life falls before you.

NOW GIVE IT A GO.

As God’s special people and chosen generation, we can make a gracious difference in LIFE and GODLINESS only by the glide on EAGLE’S FLIGHT.

As you glide on Eagle’s Flight, you will be renewed day by day in God’s refreshing grace. No flapping – hence no lost of strenght and weariness of any sorts – Isaiah 40:31. For on Eagles’ Flight you can SHOW FORTH the glory of Him that have called you from darkness to light without shame and fear of any phorbia.

In the OLD TESTAMENT it was precondition to have an entrance to BECOME God’s treasured and special person/people, but in the NEW TESTAMENT, grace is BESTOWED in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus to BECOME special and peculiar. Amen.

So, it’s your moment to AUGUST your LIFE and GODLY LIVING on EAGLES’ FLIGHT.

August 1, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN MONTH AUGUST 2021: THE MONTH TO FOLLOW – “THE PATH TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to AUGUST therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I think.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him – Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fullfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity and possibility to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s
presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and
circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his
prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again
which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one –
Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WORTH PONDERING – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

July 30, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WORTH PONDERING – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THE SIDE EFFECTS!

MONEY (Finance) is a De FACTO medium of exchange. And on its merit, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is “THE LOVE OF MONEY” that is the ROOT of ALL EVIL. Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence in life, when wisely and prudently expended.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some causes or side effects. Here are three warning signs in order not to be in a position of being captivated by – THE LOVE OF MONEY:

#1. IT CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments if the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach (greed) of the rich [who hungers for even more] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12 (Amplified).

#2. IT CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breed greediness and covetousness –

“He who loves money WILL NOT BE SATISFIED with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness)” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

#3. IT CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of rules, even the law in order to get and acquire more at any cost.

“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.

Money is good when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable and incomprehensible. With peace of mind, one is able to be CONTENT and LIVE GODLY, and to keep temptation at bay. For GAIN is not GODLINESS but GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is a great gain the Scriptures enjoin.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at – the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order to yourself, family and the community and nation you service.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10 (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” Ecclesiastes 10:19.

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM giveth life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a protection even as MONEY is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that WISDOM shields and preserves the lives of its possessors” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 (Amplified).

“. . . 3 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 6:1-6.
