Living & Walking In Love!

June 5, 2015 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

JUNE 2015 – Living & Walking In Love!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do live and walk in love, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a fruit and not a gift. Fruits are grown while gifts are imparted. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

Three main kinds of love:

1. Phileo: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It means to be fond of; it is based on feelings and not on principle. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family wellbeing.

2. Eros: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of perversion in our societies today. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

3. Agape: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. Agape love even helps to ensure, strengthen and maintain the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on principle – be it towards things or people.

The Phileo or Eros kinds of Love need to be controlled by Agape kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to sin. (E.g. Eros – 1 Corinthians 7:5; Phileo – 1 Samuel 2:22-36.)

Let’s not just say we have love, lets live and walk in love, for love is of the Spirit.

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”

Galatians 5:25.

The FAITH That WORKS

May 27, 2015 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The FAITH That WORKS – Is Acting On Your Believe On & In God’s WORD!

Faith in the Word or sayings of God makes all the difference. Faith is acting on your believe on and in the Word or sayings of God. Faith is not believe and there’s no faith until you act on that which you believe of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the Father God, any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. Faith is not a doctrine or creed or dogmas or philosophy. It’s not an assumption or presumption, it’s acting trust on God’s Word or sayings.

If you believe and don’t act on it, you’ve not endorse faith. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.

The faith that works and that’s effectual (effective & efficient) is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Also, the faith that works and that’s effectual (effective & efficient) is the faith communicated in hope through love – “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“But without faith (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to please (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Emphasis mine).

Further Scriptural Reading – Hebrews 11:1-3; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 14:23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Corinthians 13.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

May 26, 2015 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURE HEARTED LIFE!

You are either RAISED to be in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to be; that’s what makes life difference. A MATURE HEARTED person is the consequence of being raised in growth. It cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION. Otherwise pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like traces. Hence you can see a grown adult lacking the adulthood principled ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because positions test or bring forth CHARACTER MATURITY. You see the effect in – Places Of Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial Conducts, Family Relationship And Such More.

Jesus as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to be. He did not just grew, He submitted Himself to be raised through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Being raised He was made. Being made as a son, he was given for our redemption, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be raised in order to grow mature for the called purpose; and being made and ready to be, He was given for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His cause and purpose on the earth.

There’s no great person that have lasted history that just grew only without being RAISED along to be in GROWTH. They were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, responsible, accountable and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some who lack the mature hearted growth of being raised that are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such likes immature childish behaviour.

Are you raised in growth? Are you being raised to be in growth? or did you just grew or grown to be without being raised in growth? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life, that will tell you what you are and where you are and what you may likely be or had become. It’s WORTH being raised. It’s wise to submit for guidance to be raise as you grow in grace. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLE enough in it. Being raised save from pride that goes before a fall and stupidity – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

BE BLESSED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6.

“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.

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine).

Further Scriptural Reading: Luke 1:41-52.

Greetings:
Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen! I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers in the into MAY 2015. This month Achievers’ FAITH Digest is entitled: DOMINION BY THE HIGHER LAW! “Doing Exploit By The Spirit of Life In Christ Jesus”. It’s my prayer and earnest desire that you will crave for the knowledge and understanding that will enable you have DOMINION over all things that have limited you; more so, that you will eventually locate yourself in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit to achieve your desired set goals in life.

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free, because ones dominion, freedom and effectual faith in life is a product of ones knowledge as enacted in these scriptures – Daniel 11:3, John 8:32, Philemon 1:6 and Romans 6:14 . Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers.

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.“

Here are some scriptures for the theme you can read for your perusal:

2 Timothy 2:5 “And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully”

Romans 8:1-2 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.“

Romans 3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.”

Genesis 1:26-31 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ²⁹And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. ³⁰And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. ³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.“

Romans 10:6-13, 17 “But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) ⁷or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) ⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; ⁹that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ¹²For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. ¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 9:31 “But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 “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.”

James 2:8 “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.”

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with this AFD MAY 2015 EDITION newsletter for your perusal and as a guide of grace to give you food for thought indicating how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32).
