OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR

February 21, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR: THE HOLY SPIRIT DEFAULT LOVE THAT ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS FOR AN AMBASSADOR!

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) 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.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God for God’s AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the only purpose driven enabling in the grace, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and to advance the kingdom cause. And here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in the default LOVE of God, knowing that LOVE is God and is of God; and it’s the default LOVE is the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Take the Holy Spirit out of God’s love, one is then bound to have an adulteration and distortion of the love context that’s built on sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. For its upon the Holy Spirit default LOVE for God, we can then OCCUPY in Christ until he comes to “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED” in the grace, wherein we stand in the faith.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . 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 4:7–10, 16-18.

Love is an attitude, and of a deliberate and intentional choice, and an exercise of the will, and a gracious choice to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature and person of God by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, hence it’s spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very human hearts [spirit-being] of all God’s human creation that’s reborn of God in Christ Jesus; and more importantly, it’s in the very nature of the redeemed child of God, filled and led by the Holy Spirit to fulfil purpose meaningfully. The Holy Spirit default love is not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. The Holy Spirit default love outlived generations because it’s timeless and it’s of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. For God is love personified in our spirit-being for our well-being in Christ Jesus.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. And FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – AGAPE – is for the reborn of God and is a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us as written:

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth” Ephesians 5:9.

To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Christ’s ambassador, is by doing life and living godly by the Holy Spirit default LOVE; and this default of LOVE, gives the enabling to enhance earthly usefulness and heavenly mindedness for an ambassador for Christ. Let’s therefore consider LOVE in diversity for a clearer understanding of the various kinds of LOVE being implied in this context that’s applicable for the good of humans.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE THAT AFFECTS THE HUMANS – BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT [1 THESSALONIANS 5:23; HEBREWS 4:12-13]:

The PHILEO love: Grk (of the soul) – The Love relationship in family – which is between parent and child, otherwise, the Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. 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 bonding and wellbeing.
The EROS Love: Grk (of the Physical body) – The Sexual kind of love, which is pure and purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Unfortunately, lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION, DISTORTION and ADULTERATION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences and effects across the board. [Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20].
The AGAPE Love: Grk (of the spirit) – The God kind of love; the kind of love that’s unconditional, limitless, divine and spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. The love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – [1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. It’s built on PRINCIPLE and does not demand but gives. Agape love even helps to ENSURE, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the vitality of the phileo and the EROS kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is a faith-based principle on the word of God – which is towards empowering people as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Notably, the PHILEO or EROS kinds of Love, need to be controlled and subjected by the AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder and affects our fellowship with God and leads to unwelcome SIN and sinful acts. [E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36].

Therefore, as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, let’s not just say we have love, but let’s go forth in the grace, and LIVE and WALK in the Holy Spirit default LOVE, knowing that love is of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is given to only the Believer’s [reborn] of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

Dear friend and beloved of God in Christ Jesus, just know that’s it’s a high time to LIVE and WALK in love. Lets make it happen, for the charge – OCCUPY TILL I COME – as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the essence; and by the Holy Spirit of LOVE default, the Believer’s in Christ Jesus can then enhances earthly usefulness and the heavenly mindedness.

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.

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23/NKJV

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” Ephesians 5:9/NKJV.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/Amplified.

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS

THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: ENSURING AND ASSURING – GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS!

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.

And these BESTOWED graciousnesss and gracefulness essential acts are:

* The WORK of FAITH

* The LABOUR of LOVE

* The PATIENCE of HOPE

It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousnesss and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace.

This thus means that, you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.

And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS

February 19, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS: GARRISON YOUR HEARTS DILIGENTLY WITH GRACE – THE ISSUES OF YOUR LIFE WELL-BEING DEPENDS ON IT!

“GUARD your HEART ABOVE all else, for it DETERMINES the COURSE of your LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 NLT.

As a man thinks so is he, the Scriptures says. You become the thoughts of your being over time. If you dwell on IMPURE THOUGHTS, soonest you become it. When you give your hearts to PURE THOUGHTS, you become same. Therefore, garrison your hearts with pure thoughts diligently and live free from impurities. And FEED NOT ON IMPURE THOUGHTS TRANSMISSION from any if you want the good health of your total well-being.

“FOR AS HE THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE [in BEHAVIOR—one who MANIPULATES]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is BEGRUDGING the cost]” Proverbs 23:7/Amplified.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

Make no relationship with person or people of impure thoughts, lest you become as them. A pure conscience and good heartedness and love unfeigned and sincere faith in God in Christ Jesus, should be your watchword. Let there be no intimate fellowship with any who devote their life with solely IMPURE messages and information by any media formats – written, audio, video or pictorial. Soonest that seed of impurities will define your thinking process. Ensure you stop such person or group from setting their messes on you before they ruin you. You may not be able to stop person’s or people from coming around you, but you can stop them from leaving their IMPURE THOUGHTS transmission formats from getting into you.

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

“Unto the PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED AND UNBELIEVING IS NOTHING PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is DEFILED” Titus 1:15.

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

Ensure you garrison your hearts with the WORD OF GRACE that will keep you safe in order to create a magnetic field and force that becomes your default to filter out and disallow any entrance of such defiled and impure messages into your hearts.

“My son, give ATTENTION TO MY WORDS; INCLINE your EAR to my SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them DEPART from your EYES; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And HEALTH to all their flesh” Proverbs 4:20-22/NKJV.

“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” Acts 20:32.

Guard your hearts safely, for out of it are issues to define your well being. For your life follows after your thoughts. Your thoughts process your direction of life travels. BE SAFE from every adulteration that flys around you no matter who may be transmitting such. It’s your life, and it’s within your will to say NO!

“KEEP (GUARD) thy HEART with all DILIGENCE (VIGILANCE); for out of it are the ISSUES (SPRINGS) of LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 (Emphasis Mine).

I do hope and pray that you will intentionally resolved within you to keep at arms length any source or means of that which does not build your faith in God in Christ Jesus; and all that’s it’s an avenue of stain, pollution and disdain of the enemy and cohorts, that you must keep at bay in order for you to advance in the kingdom cause of God; and you do this, not necessarily only for yourself but for all that concerns you, and those you love and cares about without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And Jesus KNOWING their THOUGHTS said, Wherefore THINK ye EVIL (IMPURE) in your HEARTS?” Matthew 9:4 (Emphasis Mine)

“Now the PURPOSE of the commandment is LOVE from a PURE HEART, from a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and from SINCERE FAITH, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.” 1 Timothy 1:5-7/NKJV.

“EAT thou not the BREAD of him that hath an EVIL EYE, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The MORSEL which thou hast EATEN shalt thou vomit up, AND LOSE THY SWEET WORDS” Proverbs 23:6-8.

“But those things which PROCEED out of the MOUTH come forth from the HEART; and they DEFILE the man. 19 For out of the HEART PROCEED EVIL (IMPURE) THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man” Matthew 15:18-20 (Emphasis Mine).

“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are TRUE, WHATSOEVER things are HONEST, WHATSOEVER things are JUST, WHATSOEVER things are PURE, WHATSOEVER things are LOVELY, WHATSOEVER things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8.

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are DESTROYING SOPHISTICATED ARGUMENTS and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up AGAINST the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every THOUGHT and PURPOSE captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

February 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human HEART [a mysterious LONGING which NOTHING under the sun can SATISFY, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD through FAITH that overshadow one’s being in that SUCCESS. For one to be enriches with INNER peace and tranquility, one must know that it’s of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“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.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He that TILLETH his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“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.

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let not your HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN of life: in thy light shall we see light” Psalms 36:9.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—MEDITATE on these things” Philippians 4:8 NKJV.

“I am convinced and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6 Amplified.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have RECEIVED in the Lord, that you may FULFILL it” Colossians 4:17/NKJV.

FEAR NOT – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S BATTLE AXE

February 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FEAR NOT – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S BATTLE AXE: AND YOUR FREEDOM AND OVERCOMING CAPACITY IN CHRIST JESUS – IS A DONE DEED!

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

Fear is the enemy and cohorts assigned policing factor to make any captive, that gives out their permission – long before it MAKES any a prey and victim. Hence, we mustn’t welcome or entertain or give permission to any act of fear or fear phobias around us either in words or in deeds. We are born of God in Christ Jesus to be emboldened in grace; we are not to live, work and walk in the spirit of fear while we claimed to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. We need to know for certainly, that where fear exist and operates, that God is not there and faith doesn’t exist or function to give the needed leverage in an onward and upward trajectory.

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified.

Fear breeds torments, shame, brokenness and intimidation. It robs one of vision, guidance, confidence, assurance, health and such like the more. Fear can cripple one’s joy, happiness and success when not checked by love and faith in the hope of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. For our genuine freedom from fear is our FAITH on the done work of Christ for us in REDEMPTION.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

For you are God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War. And by walking in FAITH through LOVE, you can SUBJUGATE the spirit of FEAR, because the opposite of FEAR is to have FAITH on the authority of the infallible word of God in the context of all things created, known and unknown. For perfect love cast out the spirit of FEAR in all ramifications in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Herein is our love made PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE], 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 4:17-18.

There are over 365 fear not in the Scriptures to keep you through the 365/366 days in a normal and leap year. But you have to step out in FAITH in the done work of God in Christ Jesus, to OVERCOME fear and the fear phobias. You need to be emboldened in Christ Jesus stead today, by dusting off the spirit of cowardice and intimidation; and then raise your head up, shoulders high and then put on the high heels of FAITH to take on the enemy and cohorts policing factor called FEAR with your FAITH, when it shows up in your PATH of doing life and living godly.

May you come to know and ensure, that God by Christ Jesus, have DELIVERED you from the grip and power of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and TRANSLATED and POSITIONED you in His emboldened Kingdom of PEACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JOY in the Holy Ghost. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL world, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for usin the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS

February 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS: THE CHURCH – IS THE YOU – AND IS STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT!

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those SUPERNATURAL FORCES of EVIL operating AGAINST us], He made a PUBLIC EXAMPLE [SPECTACLE] of them [EXHIBITING them as CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to individual life’s, family homes, communities, nations and more. And you are that Church, and you are STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT and TRIUMPHANT. However, we need only to engage with the good spiritual warfare and the good fight of faith – which thus indicates that you can be busy and wrongly fighting a bad fight and a bad warfare – hence you must intentionally and pragmatically choose your battles to avoid being a victim and prey and captive.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE . . .” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

However, the glorious Church though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, should know also, is a triumphant Church. A church that’s enacting and authenticating from the position of TRIUMPH and not striving to win the battle because the battle had been won and the Church is an OVERCOMER, VICTORIOUS and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus. And each warfare and battle refine, refreshes, energizes and renews the Church; hence the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, dilute and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim rather than a victor. You are a VICTOR, WINNER, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS anyday and anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without.

“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.

For the GREATER one lives in you 24/7 to keep you STRONG and STRENGHTEN in His BLESSEDNESS as His Ambassador. And much more, the KNOWING that your STRENGHT is in the Lord and not in yourself, makes the battle WON before and ahead of the start.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS, to be STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS

February 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!

There is sufficient cause as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in the God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in order to avoid labouring for vain, in your path of doing life and living godly in the Lord; and more importantly, as you keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for you, as you fulfil the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly, in the Lord God and to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 KNOWING, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine

And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE, we can deduce the fellowing in context:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labour of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine).

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH

February 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH: THAT’S THE FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE!

“For in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision AVAILS anything, but FAITH WORKING through LOVE . . . If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5: 6, 25.

God is not a magician but will ALWAYS honour His WORD and PROMISES to All. Therefore, it’s time for ALL who expects the best of God, to gear up and put on, another kind of SENSE; meaning, for any to keep up and remain steadily steady, and triumphant in life on a daily basis in order to advance the kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – such needs to turn on the enabling synergy; and to turn on the enabling synergy is by ACTIVATING and SYNCHRONIZING the button of the SIX SENSE – The SENSE of FAITH; that is, to keep the the SENSE of FAITH switch button, always on a steady ON position. This is to enable you stay a TRIUMPHANT in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (FIVE SENSES – SMELL, TASTE, HEAR, SEE, TOUCH/FEEL)” 2 Corinthians 5:7/Emphasis Mine.

The SIXTH SENSE, which is the SENSE of FAITH can only WORK EFFECTUALLY and EFFICIENTLY, when it’s set always and continuously, on the ‘ON’ button position; meaning, when you LIVE and WALK in the spirit of LOVE which God has shed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is lavishly given to us, then we make all the difference as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, POURED] abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

This is the only way to keep your SIX SENSE – which is of FAITH, activated over your FIVE SENSE of what you – SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL, SEE, HEAR and TASTE, which are by creation design, limited to sense God’s lead and your life dealings and godly living in Christ Jesus. stead. Amen.

So THINK and start acting NOW!

“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.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye DESIRE, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

February 15, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: YOU NEED TO STAY CONNECTED IN FELLOWSHIP [PRAYERS]!

“So we ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal REPRESENTATIVES] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20/Amplified Classic Edition.

I am yet to find any genuine ambassador or even secretary of state on foreign policy, representing his country, that’s not connected and always connected and in communication with the sending country in every decision except such had been declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA by his country. And so ought every Believer of God in Christ Jesus, who by virtue of being a New Creation, are ambassador, representing the heavenly in earthly affairs in love.

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into mischief [trouble]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

And one great hallmark of such BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE, is the act of FELLOWSHIP to enhance that RELATIONSHIP with the sending heavenly. It’s upon this assigned mandate that the Believer in Christ Jesus is CALLED by the heavenly faith into a place of FELLOWSHIP wherein the Believer can fulfil purpose of God in Christ Jesus stead. And this ACT OF FELLOWSHIP is not only toward God in Christ Jesus but to toward fellow Believer’s in the grace of the same-like faith in Christ Jesus, there are Christ’s ambassador. For many have the habit of disregarding the fellowship [communication and connection] with others, and we are admonished and charged not to avoid such act of fellowship. And the act of fellowship in this context is what we mostly generally called – the act of PRAYERS!

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“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 [Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified].

“NOT FORSAKING OR NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE [FELLOWSHIP] together [as Believers], as is the HABIT OF SOME PEOPLE, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more FAITHFULLY as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s therefore the need to PRAY and keep PRAYING, for it’s a hallmark of the ACT OF FELLOWSHIP for the earthly, to being connected and in communication with the heavenly in order to resolve the earthly affairs: personal, family, community, national and the world; for PRAYER is the path for the Believing one’s as AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, to receive the enabling grace to help fulfil God’s divine purpose and to avoid being declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA.

WHAT THEN IS PRAYER [The Act of Fellowship] – NOT LIMITED:

PRAYER is – the FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God. PRAYER is – the COMMUNION with the heavenly Father God in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD. PRAYER is – the avenue of resolving life matters with the heavenly to fulfil the assigned divine PURPOSE in humanity.

PRAYER is – engaging and asking of the HEAVENLY permission into your EARTHLY affairs. PRAYER is – the asking for the heavenly intervention in matters of earnest earthly challenges. PRAYER is – the Believer’s life blood to all about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. PRAYER and the life of PRAYER and PRAYING, is not just an act but Believer’s life breath from the heavenly into the earthy affairs of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER – is a vitality and necessity for the Believer’s in Christ to be able to thrive by God for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. And as PRAYER is the Believer’s inescapable obligation to ensure and assure a safe trail with God in humanity, it’s imperative and prerogative of getting readily ready in the context of our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly – plan, purpose and pursuit – in order to take on and take charge of our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And with the daily challenges of our faith in Christ Jesus, it’s of great necessity to PRAY. Such act of PRAYER and PRAYING enable one to ask help of the heavenly TIMELESS timeline into our earthly TIMED timeline intervention. DON’T YOU THINK SO? And if Yes – then give PRAYER a GO today and always – meaning, you can start now to ask for the heavenly permission into your earthly affairs intervention. Start now to let the heavenly interfere into your set out PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which will in turn count and account for your good and goodness as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus [Luke 18:1-8; Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18].

PRAYER – is the PATH to have your thoughts and plan ESTABLISHED readily in the spiritual atmosphere with the heavenly realm for an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need to authenticate and enact tangibly into reality your desired yearnings – just as a horse is made readily ready ahead of any battle and challenging time usefulness. May I inform or remind you, it is the spiritual realm of the heavenly, that gives the physical (earthly) world realm the synergy of life – therefore, do yourself a favour to PRAY, so that you FAINT not and live a WORRY free life in the earthly affairs. [Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12-16; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 6:9-18, 25-34; Hebrews 4:14-16].

PRAYER – is vital because there’s the NEED to HEAR God for yourself and not from someone else’s, especially on that which one intending PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in Christ Jesus stead; personal of prayers in fellowship saves one from waiting for the prophecy of someone to define you on MATTERS that they can’t carry through life with you especially on your behalf. Know of a truth that God hears and answers PRAYERS, and it’s imperative and your prerogative should be to talk and reason WITH God for yourself and not someone else taking the stage for their ego, knowing that God will answer you irrespective and accordingly. [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 5:1-3; Jeremiah 33:3].

Today, and now, it beholds me to plead with you to please GIVE GOD A CALL TODAY – HE WILL ANSWER WHEN IT RINGS ON HIS THRONE. He wants to hear from you personally irrespective without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS” Revelation 5:8.

“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE, that he should offer it with THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, which came with the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD out of the angel’s hand” Revelation 8:3-4.

Be BLESSED in your EARTHLY CAUSE to doing LIFE and living GODLY in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
