JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM

July 12, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM!

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world are interconnected, and are built up and built on, of many communities of like minded – and each are of various unions, associations; and their coming together are for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, work place, streets and the family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired and expected to experience in their fulness. And, knowingly and unknowingly, and in most of the various cases, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted bondage; and unfortunately, the entanglement in it, it’s enormous in various ways. And the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it in many other ways.

It’s therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE that has been believed, revered, adored and adopted in some places as such, all in the name of serving the symbol of landmarks, are in fact classed in SCRIPTURAL terms, as an IDOL. Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres and other designated high places. Most times they depicts in essence of ENSLAVING, BONDAGES, INSULT, SEGREGATION and such like – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation it’s no longer welcome and honourable to another generation. That’s why the only true FREEDOM, is that which is of God in Christ Jesus, LIVING IN OUR HEARTS beyond dispensation, generation and walls of any sorts.

“. . . 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s PLACE IN YOUR HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 Amplified.

It’s for the above narrative and such like, that made Apostle Paul share scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS superstitious and devotion to graven image altars, which was ascribed by them as to be to their UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernised IDOLS today. Thanks to God in His awesomeness, He used Apostle Paul eventually to bring the ATHENIANS to see the essence of knowing the true God from their superstitious bondage. Apostle Paul made them to know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, to MOVE and to HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING; and he therein told them about the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have and not from the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and Community places that serves as Landmark of greatness for admiration and devotion even for many today.

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ . . .” Acts 17:15-34/Amplified.

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, has made possible the true FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such like. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timithy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless causes other than to offend another. Hence I say you:

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And [if you] are CONFIDENT that you are a [qualified] GUIDE to the blind [those untaught in theology], a LIGHT to those who are in darkness, 20 and [that you are] a CORRECTOR of the foolish, a TEACHER of the [spiritually] childish, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth— 21 well then, you who TEACH others, do you not teach yourself? You who PREACH against stealing, do you steal [in ways that are discrete, but just as sinful]? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest IDOLS, do you rob [pagan] temples [of valuable idols and offerings]?” Romans 2:19-22 Amplified.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God DOES NOT habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we ARE in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21 Amplified.

“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of DEVILS: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the TABLE OF DEVILS. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:16-22.

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

July 11, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: HOW ABOUT SACRILEGE – THE SACRILEGIOUS ACTS!

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  ABHORREST IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

It’s very easy for any to credit themselves and say – I DON’T DO IDOLS or IDOLATRY. Meaning I have no image, picture and object and even shrine that I go, consult and or make sacrifices toward. More so, I don’t REVERED and BELIEVED in any man made gods. However, I hope you do not practice SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

What is SACRILEGE? It’s the SHARING and PLEASURING in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, pleasures  and such like as a results of IDOLS or and IDOLATOR’S in ones life. Aiding and abetting for the gains in any form either indirectly or directly on matters of idol and Idolatory in Scriptural context, makes one a culprits – that’s sacrilege or sacrilegious acts.

“For [God does not OVERLOOK sin and] the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness SUPPRESS and STIFLE the truth, 19 because that which is KNOWN about God is EVIDENT within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them . . . 32 Although they KNOW God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things DESERVE death, yet they not only do them, but they even PLEASURE, [ENTHUSIASTICALLY] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who practice them” Romans 1:18-32/AMP.

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before coming to REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, thereby turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to serve  God acceptably and worship Him worthily by the Holy Spirit through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such like acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse  before God.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are these:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest –  that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such like are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease to their community gods and goddesses for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods and goddess of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such like will do any DEMAND placed before them so long their objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and bait people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicate that you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS – KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE – AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27.

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth DIVINATION, or an OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an ENCHANTER, or a WITCH, 11 or a CHARMER, or a CONSULTER with FAMILIAR SPIRITS, or a WIZARD, or a NECROMANCER. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do” Deuteronomy 18:10-14.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION

July 11, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

IDOLS are ANYTHING but NOTHING – For in Christ Jesus WE ARE JUSTIFIED and WE HAVE ACCESS by FAITH with God. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE wherein WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of THE GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these LAST DAYS as the world nears its end . . .19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the IDOLS to whom the HEATHEN bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? NO, NOT AT ALL. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21 (Living Bible).

“Next is your question about EATING FOOD that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “KNOW-IT-ALL” makes us feel important, WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO BUILD THE CHURCH IS LOVE. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just SHOWING his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is OPEN TO GOD’S KNOWLEDGE. 4 So now, what about it? Should we EAT meat that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? Well, we all know that AN IDOL IS NOT REALLY A GOD, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD, AND NO OTHER. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of IDOLS as alive, and have believed that FOOD OFFERED TO THE IDOLS is really being OFFERED TO ACTUAL GODS. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your FREEDOM to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose CONSCIENCE is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin AGAINST Christ to sin AGAINST your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat OFFERED TO IDOLS is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him” I Corinthians 8:1-13 (Living Bible).

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not HABITUALLY sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that WE ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Living Bible).

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

July 11, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL, AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH!

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

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE on it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it’s imperative and important in helping us in becoming that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it’s synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is depending on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO to exchange is the US Dollar. If one transacts business outside another nations acceptable legal tender say Dollars ‘$’ for USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for United Kingdom and such like, your action will warrant a fake trafficking and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. In the same scenario, there’s no single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH – for its the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs.

Hence there is the need to WALK IN FAITH and most importantly CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. The reason is because Faith is the Victory by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome in every level of life in the world EARTHLY affairs (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11).

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen (2 Corinthians 4:13, 18). God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ spiritual, vital and legal tender to all of life endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and steadily steady in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH are ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. Amen – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST” Ephesians 4:7.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3.

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified).

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

“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.

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

July 11, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: HOW ABOUT SACRILEGE – THE SACRILEGIOUS ACTS!

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  ABHORREST IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

Aiding and abetting for the gains in any form either indirectly or directly on matters of idol and Idolatory in Scriptural context, makes one a culprits – that’s sacrilege or sacrilegious acts.

“For [God does not OVERLOOK sin and] the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness SUPPRESS and STIFLE the truth, 19 because that which is KNOWN about God is EVIDENT within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them . . . 32 Although they KNOW God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things DESERVE death, yet they not only do them, but they even PLEASURE, [ENTHUSIASTICALLY] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who practice them” Romans 1:18-32/AMP.

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before coming to REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, thereby turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to serve  God acceptably and worship Him worthily by the Holy Spirit through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such like acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse  before God.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are these:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest –  that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such like are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease to their community gods and goddesses for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods and goddess of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such like will do any DEMAND placed before them so long their objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and bait people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicate that you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS – KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE – AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  abhorrest IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27.

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth DIVINATION, or an OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an ENCHANTER, or a WITCH, 11 or a CHARMER, or a CONSULTER with FAMILIAR SPIRITS, or a WIZARD, or a NECROMANCER. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do” Deuteronomy 18:10-14.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

July 9, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: OUGHT NOT TO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 1:18.

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

The UNPARALLELED ARMY holds to THE TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS toward God in Christ Jesus, knowing that Jesus is THE TRUTH and our RIGHTEOUSNESS in God. And Jesus Christ is not just TRUTH but THE TRUTH. And as THE TRUTH He gives life, the eternal life of God to all who seeks the Father God in Him – John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12; and gives light to illuminate all who sits in darkness, to brighten up their life in RIGHTEOUSNESS without perversion, distortion, counterfeit, adulteration, and delusions; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). Galatians 1:6-10; Jude 1:3-4.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY lives by a PURE conscience toward God and toward men. The intent is to always stand by THE TRUTH of THE WORD irrespective of the circumstances and context of the moment. We are to hold steadfastly the mystery of the faith toward God and toward Christ Jesus in a pure conscience. 1 Peter 5:7-11. There’s no room to hold the TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS for any reason of pleasing self or others if we must remain the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

As an UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God, you can’t teach others to live in a particular life standard that you know contradicts the truth of the SCRIPTURE by the way you make it appears to suit the sentiments of the day. Asking someone or telling others not to steal, why you do steal by whatever formula or saying it is wrong to commit adultery why you do it or saying to someone not to pray to idols, why you make money or any modane things your god instead – this then will undermine the integrity and stand of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus. These aforementioned and such like should not be found among any UNPARALLELED ARMY that needs to manifest as vessel of use by God in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

The TRUTH is THE WORD, and Jesus is THE WORD – meaning that the UNPARALLELED ARMY cannot hold the TRUTH outside the WORD, for THE TRUTH is the WORD and is Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17. Meaning, for any to hold the TRUTH in any form of unrighteousness and to then expect the righteous outcome in life and grace is not possible instead it will attract the vehement WRATH of God without signal – Hebrews 10:31. Holding THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is an indication of manipulation and control and confusion, especially in the PREACHING of the Gospel – the good news of the goodness of God in Christ Jesus – when it’s been perverted, twisted, diluted, adulterated and such like.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY that is LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT does not hold THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. It’s not doubled-tongued in any means and for any means.  The UNPARALLELED ARMY is commissioned to speak THE TRUTH IN LOVE because the part of the landmark of the commission is LOVING and having a LOVELY characteristics built on the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that TRANSCENDS and SUPERCEDES all human sense knowledge as written:

“But speaking THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ” Ephesians 4:15.

“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 KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be filled with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

It’s very important that anyone who claims to be a part of the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God that wants to live the LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT way of doing life and living godly, must resolved not to be a peddler who does THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or in any form of UNRIGHTEOUS CAUSE in the name of God in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the wrath of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:18-32.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 And ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

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

“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through THY TRUTH: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through THE TRUTH” John 17:16-19

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, TEACHEST thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not STEAL, dost thou STEAL? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not COMMIT adultery, dost thou COMMIT adultery? thou that ABHORREST idols, dost thou COMMIT sacrilege? 23 thou that MAKEST thy boast of the law, through BREAKING the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is BLASPHEMED among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:21-29.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once DELIVERED unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, TURNING THE GRACE of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

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

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19 Amplified.

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in TRUTH” John 4:23-24.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” Galatians 1:6-10.

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL

July 8, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said, that your WORTH in Him is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances make you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus; and not before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity; and not even before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth definition is not in men. Know for certainty that YOU ARE MORE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY. You ARE CHOSEN, you ARE ROYAL, you ARE HOLY, you ARE PECULIAR, you ARE CALLED, and have RECEIVED and OBTAINED mercy.

You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE LABEL to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created, that is, reverently made. You ARE God made. You ARE of God’s cornerstone that’s fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS, don’t demean your WORTH for the less. Know full well, there’s an answer to your prayers, for God is able and faithful to meet up with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you are patience – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in TIMELESS realm of possibility not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH which is a necessity tool of timeless realm in Him, is paramount importance to engaged with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God will meet you up at that point of possibility realm – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

Dust off yourself right now, head up and raise your shoulder high and put on your high heels of redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS wherein comes the ANSWERS and not the QUESTIONS as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine, go forth and shine, for your light is come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.

Be Blessed – Meaning – Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Colour and be meaningfully Fulfilled.

YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).

“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).

“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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: THERE’S NOW – NO MORE CONDEMNATION – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“But God, who is RICH in MERCY, for his great LOVE wherewith He LOVED US, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath QUICKENED US together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness TOWARD US through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:4-9.

What a freedom. What an awesome, a gracious and a graceful life to live now and always in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead – to receive the heavenly God pardon by being loved, forgiven, discharged and acquitted, received and made blameless and guiltless, and then QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

What men can’t offer and do, God had offered and given to us without conditionalities, prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation – by saying to us for NOW, today and  tomorrow that – THERE’S NO MORE CONDEMNATION  – FOR BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. And that settles it all to live with hope, faith and love. Amen.

It’s very important and imperative for your good and goodness, because there shall be a reckoning day where our WORK OF FAITH, LABOUR OF LOVE and PATIENCE OF HOPE [1 Thessalonians 1:3-5], shall be rewarded, whether done opening or secretly. For all Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus shall APPEAR before the JUDGEMENT SEAT of Christ for their respective rewards after the WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT of the separation of the sheep [the Believer’s] from the goats [the unbeliever’s] at the timing of the Lord God.

“For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the DEAD and LIVING. 10 But why dost thou JUDGE [EXAMINE] thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all STAND before the JUDGMENT SEAT of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God” Romans 14:9-11/Emphasis Mine.

IT’S TIME TO ADD COLOUR TO SOMEONE ELSE LIFE – IT’S A GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL THING TO DO. AM HERE TO SAY – THANK YOU AS YOU START THE ACT TODAY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND GOODNESS.

Make it good to give COLOUR of graciousness and gracefulness to someone else beyond you. Take out any or all of these resources in your disposals today – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Skill) and such like, and CALL or and GO visit that friend, relation or someone you know that have not being around for a while; more so, especially the one that have been absence for a while towards the CHURCH COMMUNITY GATHERING, and show sure God’s LOVE and CARES without worries and complaints. It’s a moment in life and history to encourage their faith in the Lord, pray with them and be of help to make them seek the Lord and His Church one more time.

“Beside THOSE THINGS [PERSONAL CHALLENGES] that are WITHOUT [EXTERNAL] , that which cometh upon me DAILY, the CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28/Emphasis Mine.

A SMILE to the orphan, bereaved, wounded, broken, abandoned, forgotten, weary and such like is not only gracious and graceful, but CONTAGIOUS and MEMORABLE. Show some humane of love and cares today to someone in NEED – This is Scripturally called “PURE RELIGION” indeed.

“. . . Let us now GO BACK and VISIT our brethren in EVERY CITY where we have PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, and see HOW THEY ARE DOING” Acts 15:36.

“. . . PURE and UNDEFILED religion before God and the Father is this: to VISIT orphans and widows in THEIR trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” James 1:22-27.

Be Blessed in GRACE and LIFE as you show some LOVE and CARE today in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Be a DIFFERENCE – Be a HISTORY MAKER to someone else today in Christ Jesus stead. Give colour to your WORLDS in another.

MARANATHA! – The Lord Christ Jesus Is Coming, BE READY – 1 Corinthians 16:22.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so fulfil the law of Christ . . . 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:3, 9-10.

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto love and to good works: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

“When the SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an HUNGRED, and ye gave me meat: I was THIRSTY, and ye gave me drink: I was a STRANGER, and ye took me in: 36 NAKED, and ye clothed me: I was SICK, and ye visited me: I was in PRISON, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when SAW we thee an HUNGRED, and fed thee? or THIRSTY, and gave thee drink? 38 When SAW we thee a STRANGER, and took thee in? or NAKED, and clothed thee? 39 Or when SAW we thee SICK, or in PRISON, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have DONE it unto one of the LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, ye have done it unto me” Matthew 25:31-40.
