There Is The Need For A VOICE Not An ECHO In Today’s World

December 3, 2020 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

There Is The Need For A VOICE Not An ECHO In Today’s World: Especially In The WILDERNESS of Life – Be The VOICE!

God EYES is going to and fro through the earth and in the business of making and raising a VOICE that will speak forth graciously and gracefully to the worlds about them with an answer of the WORD of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE. I dare on you to join the journey today. But it known that God is not about the ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS that are distorting or will distort the good will of the worlds about them and their community. For God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION; and where His Spirit is at work, there is LIBERATION, WHOLENESS, PEACE and FREEDOM; and not involved in the CONFUSION that’s resulting to SCHISM today. God is not confused neither does He confused His own. 1 Corinthians 14:33; 2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 12:3.

When people are in life VALLEYS and the MOUNTAINS and HILLS seems so high; and the life roads seems so ROUGH; and the path of life and path for life seems so CROOKED; what they need is a VOICE not an ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS to speak into their life. They need a VOICE, such that the Mountain and hills becomes a plain, the valley is exalted, the rough road becomes smooth and the crooked path becomes straight.

And today I am asking you – Are you then a VOICE or an ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKER? Won’t you love to be God’s VOICE to the worlds about you, especially your family and the community you surround yourself with? Examine within and make it right today. Be a VOICE in today’s world and not an ECHO, a CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKER. God is in the making of a VOICE as you. A VOICE with NO VILE in the MOUTH, but GRACIOUS and PRECIOUS within. And If you intend to be God’s MOUTH piece, His earthly VOICE vessel, there is the need to empty the VILE from the PRECIOUS within. For out of the abundance of the hearts, a VOICE is known by the heavens to be His MOUTH piece.

THERE IS THE NEED FOR A VOICE NOT AN ECHO IN TODAY’S WORLD – ESPECIALLY IN THE WILDERNESS OF LIFE – BE THE VOICE

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the EVIL TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:45 (Matthew 12:34).

“And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the PRECIOUS from the VILE, thou shalt BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19.

“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.

“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituræa and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, THE WORD of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the WILDERNESS. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The VOICE of one crying in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every VALLEY shall be FILLED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be brought LOW; and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH ways shall be made SMOOTH; 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God” Luke 3:1-6.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in THE WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH places PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together: for the MOUTH of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

AFD DECEMBER 2020 EDITION

December 1, 2020 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BORN IN OUR HEARTS!

Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Georgian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.

** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.

** The number 12 can also represent the church and faith in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.

While Month DECEMBER is unique in many ways, in terms of been the twelve as mentioned above, it’s also gracious to enhance the goodness and blessedness of the BEAUTY in DECEMBER as per the Scriptural writs of the month DECEMBER theme:

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord“ Luke 2:11.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST“ Matthew 16:20.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

THIS DAY – BEING TODAY – LET – EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BE BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. Upon this phrases in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2020 is Themed.

EMMANUEL – mean – God With Us – thus signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP that we might enjoy God and the heavens on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ – 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is:

“The Yearly And Annual COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”

It is as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore.

Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship and in our path of life – to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:

*Peace and goodwill toward men

*Hope, Faith & Love for men

*Fellowship and Relationship with God

* Salvation for all mankind and more.

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned.

a. He’s no longer:

* The babe in the manger

* The servant to death

* The limited one and

* The Christ on the Cross.

b. He’s now the:

* God on the throne

* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)

* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and

* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).

May Christ be all that is mentioned above to you, this Day, this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration. Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!

Many times I have come across the QUEST for an ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment toward God and toward men as to say if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s is, FAITHFULNESS, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten and battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain faithful seems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic in life and godly living to them.

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost drawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered, when you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and experiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light:

** A woman being beaten up and mained by the temperamental and untempered husband or like another husband having a wife you can’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE statement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity.

** When an employee working and putting up with much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the Business with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with no fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the company capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate returns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and untrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and undermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and unknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on them and all those who looks up to them through that means for their livelihood.

** When a government is failing in governance to the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution of the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and dissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system sabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and wealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to loot the system and make it fail at no consequence.

** And the list goes on and on in various life applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can name them too to make up this paragraph.

However, I am emboldened to say by the light of the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in God, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face or have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that God is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I recommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and enjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD OR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we should do it as unto God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to REWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, I say to you, hold fastly and firmly the MYSTERY of your FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE CONSCIENCE.

Herein are few hints but not limited to indicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ Jesus stead:

1. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching rewards and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.

2. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits progress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20.

3. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.

4. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.

5. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b; Mark 10:28-30.

“And WHATSOEVER ye do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:17.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: There’s The Need Today To Live FAITHFUL Toward God & Toward Men!

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and Toward men” Acts 24:16.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The knowing that GOD IS FAITHFUL and we need to live FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD Him, is a gracious and graceful place and position to be in Christ Jesus stead; but that’s not complimentary enough until we actualised our life, by being FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD men, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.

It does mean, that we can’t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL toward those who oversees our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. It is a dangerous place to take when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you incline your spiritual mentorship in leadership toward irrespective of any circumstance. Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks freedom in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25), as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ of – 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men – Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead – Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6. He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God’s heritage, in order to present them perfect – complete, whole – as one that’s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel – Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24.

However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of – RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God’s people spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men.

Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:

** Tychicus – (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellow Servant in the Lord) – Colossians 4:7-8; Ephesians 6:21-22.

** Onesimus – (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) – Colossians 4:9.

** Epaphras – (A Dear Fellow Servant and FAITHFUL Minister) – Colossians 1:7.

** Timotheus – (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) – 1 Corinthians 4:17.

** Lydia – (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord) Acts 16:14-16.

** Silvanus – (A FAITHFUL Brother) – 1 Peter 5:12.

There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as Ephesians 1:1 will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus. The essence of these mentioned, is to indicate that our being FAITHFUL is not only TOWARD God, but also TOWARD men – especially those who are place of God to OVERSEE your spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. They have a responsibility and accountability in principle to ensure they bestow and commit Kingdom Ministerial work only to the FAITHFUL Brethren – 2 Timothy 2:1-3; for not all in the house of God have FAITH or rather are endeavouring to live FAITHFUL to the CAUSE of God and toward men – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Obey them that have the RULE over you, and SUBMIT yourselves: for they WATCH for your souls, as they that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” Hebrews 13:17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” 1 Corinthians 4:1-3.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS PRACTICABLE & APPLICABLE!

God is not just FAITHFUL in His NATURE, but requires every of His children that will do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, to be FAITHFUL in everyway in the cause of time. If this is not possible in His grace, He will not require it of us in His enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

May I also say that in life, some are set to LEAD in a CAUSE while some are set to ASSIST – that is, to HELP the person to LEAD in order to THRIVE and ACHIEVE the common and mutual goal. Neither the HELPER or the LEADER in such privileged and opportune CAUSE are less a being at ALL to each other in all way of doing life and living godly – it’s all matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE. Be it in the CAUSES of any of THESE:

** Family Life
** Marriage
** Business
** Enterprise
** Government
** Gospel Ministry
** Community or Private Organisation
** . . . and many such like . . .

And in each applicable and application of life and godly matters, God expect each one as in the wisdom of King David as in the Holy writ of 1 Samuel 30:24, to have a fair share ALIKE in the good and outcome of any or such endeavours in pursuit.

Unfortunately, many today are oppressed, denied and marginalised of their fair rights and privileges in cause of time of their basic entitlement. And in the other hands, some are fighting and heating up smoke to gain rights of fair share at no cost, contribution or helping hand at all. These INDIFFERENCE on both sides or ends OUGHT not to be in any place where FAITHFULNESS is a requirement to manage the RESOURCES that pertains to all. For the EARTH is the LORD’S, the FULNESS thereof, the world and all who DWELL therein. And Believer’s in Christ Jesus are all CALLED to share in the INHERITANCE of His BLESSEDNESS.

Therefore, knowing that the EARTH is the lord’s and all the resources in used, and FAITHFULNESS is required to be a STEWARD of His grace and BLESSEDNESS, it’s NEEDFUL for me to show some APPLICABLE areas in this light, however not limited on the need to be FAITHFUL as in THESE:

1. Be A FAITHFUL Employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be FAITHFUL. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.

2. Be A FAITHFUL Employer – Look WELL after your staff in whatever the business/Enterprise. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.

3. Be FAITHFUL In Any Relationships -This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society. Luke 16:1-13; 1 Peter 3:1-12; Ephesians 4:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.

4. Being FAITHFUL In The Kingdom Business – As a Gospel Minister, Pastor, Ministry Worker in Leadership or not etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is not negotiable and it’s a basic prerequisite to achieving desired Kingdom causes with God in Christ Jesus stead. Luke 1:49; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).

5. Being FAITHFUL In Marital Relationship – In Marriage one cannot afford to be UNFAITHFUL and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12; 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; Hebrews 13:1-6.

6. Being FAITHFUL In Parenting – Faithfulness is also vital requirements of God in a parent/child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6.

7. Being FAITHFUL in Friendship – Faithfulness in friendships is NEEDFUL in our daily life support. Not necessarily when in trouble times only, but in good times to ascertain STRENGHT in our relationship in course of time. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.

May I say again that there are many other applicable ways in the light of the Holy Scriptures wherein FAITHFULNESS and being FAITHFUL is required of you – do search the Scriptures.

I plead to you in Jesus Christ stead to do life and live godly by being FAITHFUL; for our stewardship as expected to be trustworthy custodian of God’s resources on EARTH in the utilisation, will be question and challenge one day, based on FAITHFULNESS.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM!

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “Abraham Blessing Are Mine”. This I have done for over 45yrs and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:9 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written:

“So then THEY which be of FAITH are BLESSED with FAITHFUL ABRAHAM” Galatians 3:9.

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be Abraham seed and wants Abraham Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as Abraham, as we do sing “I Am A Friend Of God”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who are of FAITH in Christ Jesus are of Abraham and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. This become possible because Abraham was ascribed as FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience in believing and being assured of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be in all about him doing life and living godly.

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the Gospel as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the Gospel of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in his BLESSEDNESS with God, in that he was FAITHFUL as ascribed as – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM.

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today:

1. He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7).

2. He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

3. He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings – Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33).

4. He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful – Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

5. He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21;

6. He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy – Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25.

7. He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenge, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity save him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30.

8. He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he find himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10.

9. He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. – Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19.

10. He was FAITHFUL even at his lost of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILL for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13.

11. He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.

12. He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfiling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22.

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortified and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing.

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he’s toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED STRENGTH TO CONCEIVE SEED, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she judged him FAITHFUL who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-19.

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how FAITH wrought with his works, and by works was FAITH made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” James 2:20-24.

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the dead, and CALLETH those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against HOPE believed in HOPE, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ as in WHEN, in the light of the Scriptures Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). Yet in all glorification of PRAYERS and FASTINGS as many have attributes as hallmarks for life, God expectations from His children is the acts of FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY. Meaning, in all our dedication and commitment to the course and cause of doing life and living godly, in order to partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, what God truly demands from us in honesty, is a genuine life of being FAITHFUL.

And we as representative, custodian and steward of His CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum of God from you. So that you can say, that in all CONSCIENCE of faith in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU CLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY? Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“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 28:20-22.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“What is my REWARD then? Verily that, when I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ABUSE not my POWER IN THE GOSPEL. 19 For though I be FREE FROM ALL MEN, yet have I made myself SERVANT unto all, that I might GAIN the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might GAIN the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might GAIN them that are under the law; 21 to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might GAIN them that are without law” 1 Corinthians 9:18-21.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is UNJUST in the least is UNJUST also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS NATURE!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS NATURE!

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics.

One need to know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – (Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5). It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dare. The same grace is available to us today despite our challenges to be FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)

Our God is FAITHFUL God, that is His NATURE. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.

2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.

3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.

4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).

5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.

6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.

7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.

9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.
