DILIGENCE: Being Steadfast, Consistently Consistent!

A rolling stone gathers no moss and when in life people becomes inconsistent to the things they do in life, they lose the essence of becoming what they are and intended to be.

Show me a person who is of DILIGENCE – steadfast, earnest, consistent, smart, steady and work-focus; and with a believe in his or her doings, I will show the reasons why such has succeeded and or is succeeding; and is thriving and accomplishing with results meaningfully and purposefully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

I pray you will not intermingle and interwoven your life with those who just talk the talk, but are not diligent to see through their believe come to reality.

I pray for you in all every of God’s grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine)

“But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified).

Being Readily PREPARED For Your DAWN Day: Then God Can Show Up For You!

It’s a high time to make your DAWN day COUNT and ACCOUNT for your good, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and in every way of doing life and living godly.

God does miracles and not magic – and miracles are caused – and are not accidental; there’s the need then to be readily PREPARED for your dawn day; and then, God can show up for you – to succeed and triumph.

As Horses are for strength and needs to be made ready ahead of battles or services known and unknown, same we ought to live readily prepared in LIFE and GODLINESS.

It’s good to diligently prepare your day and for your day before you set out. You need to give God some readiness of yours to work with, otherwise you will be overwhelmed in either cases when your day is dawn and daunted with challenges.

God does miracle and not magic. Miracles are cause and not accidental. One can’t avoid doing his or her responsibility outside God’s will and expects God to just show up into their matters to give assurance and needed confidence.

Deliverance and Victory are of God – and are possible and available to and for all, but there’s the need to be readily prepared and not to be taken unaware.

Be readily PREPARED – then God will show up for you – God does miracles and not magic – and miracles are caused – and are not accidental.

I pray you take the day as it comes, being readily PREPARED for the best of God for your BLESSEDNESS and to keep the enemy at bay.

Every grace and blessings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“The horse is PREPARED for the DAY of BATTLE (CHALLENGES), but DELIVERANCE and VICTORY are of the Lord.” Proverbs 21:31 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“This is the [remarkable degree of] CONFIDENCE which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ASK anything according to HIS WILL, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. 15 And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him” 1 John 5:14-15 (Amplified).

“Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] CONFIDENCE, for it has a GLORIOUS and GREAT reward” Hebrews 10:35 (Amplified).

FEAR NOT – IN SICKNESSES AND DISEASES

August 8, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FEAR NOT – IN SICKNESSES AND DISEASES: BE IT A NAMED OR UNNAMED VIRILE DISEASE – FOR THERE IS AN ANSWER!

God HEALS today – He is the same God YESTERDAY, TODAY and TOMORROW – Hebrews 13:8.

To FEAR NOT – the Holy Scriptures enjoined us for over 365 times in the Holy Writ. Meaning there’s a FEAR NOT for each day. And there’s an answer to any KNOWN OR UNKNOWN virile diseases and sicknesses in such respects.

FEAR captivates, it imprisons, it torments and cast spell, because it’s the devil’s vehicle to intimidates and silence your FAITH in Christ.

For FAITH working by LOVE is your antidote to FEAR. The FAITH which is based on your redemptive rights and privileges to live and do life in the healing and health made available and possible for you in grace.

For example, any virile disease has a name, and at the NAME of Jesus, EVERY KNEES (which includes the virile disease) shall BOW, that is, submit and respect to the detects of the WORD of God and CONFESS to His sovereignty in all matters of life and godly living. Hence you need not to fear this vehicle of satanic spell when it shows up at your door and path in life any day and at any moment.

There’s no overdose in THE WORD nor in THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST and in the efficacious BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS. Be soaked in the Word and in the power of the Spirit, for no virile disease will come NEAR to abound or stay ON you, for you are the covenanted child of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I pray that your FAITH in Christ Jesus will well up in you against the spirit of fear, and cause you to swim in the rivers of living Spirit of God, to deadened all Sicknesses and diseases you dread about in Jesus redemptive names. Amen!

Be BLESSED – Be Empowered to live life in full in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Here are some Scriptural Word of Faith concerning you to ponder and ensure you thrive in grace in Health and Healing:

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you authority [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” Luke 10:17-20 (Amplified).

“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 4:17-18.

DO YOU NEED – FAITH REST – FAITH ASSURED – AND SPIRIT REFRESH

August 7, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DO YOU NEED – FAITH REST – FAITH ASSURED – AND SPIRIT REFRESH: PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – IT’S THE SYNERGY!

When your FAITH is at REST – your HUMAN SPIRIT is at REST also; and you are then ASSURED of your daily triumph no matter what the circumstance and situation are about you. But when your FAITH is troubled, your HUMAN SPIRIT is troubled and your assurance of triumph dwindles.

And FAITH is of the WORD which is of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, which when not taken care of, leads to stress and depression and all forms of fear phobias in your human spirit being. STRESS is as a result of limited capacity to deal with our various life challenges, be it – family, work, ministry, business, academic, relationship, leadership, and more.

You need to know full well that you are a spirit-being (spiritual), with a soul (mind, emotions, will and intellect) and living in a body (humus – physical) – 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12.

However, there’s a good news, for God has left us with a synergy to enhance us with the grace of rest to deal with all factors that results to stress. It’s called – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – that’s PRAYING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT which means SPEAKING FORTH IN OTHER TONGUES – that is, in spiritual tongues/languages to be precise. And you need to get engaged and use it to do and live life. In it you will be REFRESH, REAWAKEN, RENEW, REKINDLE, SYNERGISE and AFLAME to enjoy a stress and depression free life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MEDITATE the SCRIPTURES below and be BLESSED in Christ Jesus stead to live free within.

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the WEARY to REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“For if I PRAY in an UNKNOWN TONGUE, my spirit prayeth but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will PRAY with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding” 1 Corinthians 14:14-15.

“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but BE FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him” Ephesians 5:18.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy FAITH [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21.

“PRAYING ALWAYS with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“If you FAINT in the day of ADVERSITY, Your STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN him in sickness (Infirmities), But who can BEAR a BROKEN spirit?” Proverbs 18:14.

“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of [a] God’s people in accordance with God’s will” Romans 8:26-27.

THE HOLY BIBLE: BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL – TO OUR TOTAL BEING!

You need to READ, STUDY and MEDIDTATE on it to to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS in EVERYWAY in God’s GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS:

“He sent HIS WORD, and HEALED them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20.

“My son, pay attention to MY WORDS and be willing to learn; Open your ears to my sayings 21 Do not let them escape from your sight; Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are LIFE to those who find them, And HEALING AND HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH. 23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life” Proverbs 4:20-23 (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).

“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).

DARE To Say NO When NECESSARY

August 6, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DARE TO SAY NO – When It’s TIMELY NECESSARY And MATTERS: It Is An ATTRIBUTE Of GRACE – You Need Not Regret or Be Apologetic – BY SAYING A NO!

THANKS BUT “NO” THANKS – Is that too hard to say or make sometimes? Yeah – in majority of times especially in sentimental cases when you are UNPRINCIPLE in matters of LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Meaning, falling for anything and everything for not having a set PRINCIPLED based on the WORD of God that keeps you RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for self-worth in Christ Jesus stead.

James 1:2-8, makes it known and understandable – that to be tempted or tested or tried is not a sin, but to let sentiments cause you to give in to that which you are being tempted or tested about or with, will make you to have or make a sin and become a PREY and VICTIM instead of a VICTOR. And that is of your own making in not saying emphatically a “NO” – knowing that God does not tempt any man to sin – to break His WORD – James 1:13-15; 1 Corinthians 10:13.

As a child of God, if you must be strong and fortified in life and faith and stay steadfast in Christ Jesus stead, you must know and understand when to say “NO” boldly; and to mean it when your right of ensuring God’s WORD in your life is been violated by any person, irrespective of the life stands. More and especially, in commitments that makes you small or smaller than what God has done in you in Christ Jesus; matters that subtract you or from you; matters that divides you, decreases you and limits you; and in matters that will not add, multiply and increase you in everyway in life and godly living.

There are cohorts of Satan outwork and out there in our place of doing life – home, Church, shopping centres, market places, work places, business and governmental places, political arena, contract signing places and such likes that you must put guard and guide against, otherwise you be PARTAKER of their intent and VICTIM of regret for not saying the “NO” but instead of the “YES” you gave by word or actioned in kind. An emboldened PRINCIPLE for responsibility and accountability must be upheld in our day to day life in this world, otherwise you will live a life of fear, intimidation, guilt, shame, inferiority and regret, in not saying “NO” to the divers lustful temptations that appears before you now and then – James 1:13-15; 4:1-3.

Just know again and again, that there’s an enabling grace within you to say “NO” – no matter the circumstances and situations that befalls you in cause of doing life and godly living.

Being EMBOLDENED to say “NO” when it MATTERS, it’s an attributes of God’s grace in you. It saves from troubles and then heals, delivers, secures, directs, strengthens, equips, empowers; and does many more such likes attributes in one’s LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s time not to fall traps of sentiments that the ENEMY and COHORTS in crafty act will use to lure you out of FAITH through FEARS into things you know, you will not normally say “YES” to which deserves a big fat “NO” answer.

DARE TO SAY NO WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS – IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT REGRET – SAYING A NO!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS:

“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).

“But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘YES’ BE ‘YES,’ AND YOUR ‘NO,’ ‘NO.’ For whatever is more than these is from the EVIL ONE” Matthew 5:34-37 (NKJV)

“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “YES” BE “YES,” AND YOUR “NO,” “NO,” lest you fall into judgment” James 5:12 (NKJV).

“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).

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—WAS NOT YES AND NO, BUT IN HIM WAS YES. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YES, AND IN HIM AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22 (NKJV).

“No temptation has OVERTAKEN you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV).

The CHOICE – To AUGUST Your Life In DIGNITY

August 3, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The CHOICE To AUGUST Your Life In DIGNITY: As A Thermometer or Thermostat!

To August your Worlds by the Word of Faith is about determining the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy in life day to day in Christ Jesus. It is in you to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself with; or to rather be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment, the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow and become.

You can either govern your Worlds by the Word of Faith or be governed by the circumstances and philosophies that are in the world around you.

The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme, dignity, grandeur, majestic, venerable, eminent, grand and lordly. Meaning to AUGUST is – to be dignified, to be reverend, to be admired, to be majestic, eminent, venerable, grand and more.

Jesus has lifted you from the bottom to the top. It’s not enough to know it, you need to actualised it into reality. That’s where the Word of Faith comes into play. You can either live by assumptions and presumptions or by the Word of Faith.

I beg you to august your path as a THERMOSTAT , so that you can have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness. Give thoughts and be blessed.

Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, in order to august your worlds by the Word of Faith. It’s in your hand to colour your worlds life colourfully, for the just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4).

It’s in this regards that Abraham’s gave birth to his son, Isaac (Romans 4:17-22). And by the word of faith, as a THERMOSTAT, he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will say in the light of these scriptural truth:

‘We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak‘. (2 Corinthians 4:13).

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped) by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear“ (Hebrews 11:3).

WORTH PONDERING – THE LOVE OF MONEY

July 30, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

#1. IT CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments if the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point – Ecclesiastes 5:12 “The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach (greed) of the rich [who hungers for even more] will not let him sleep” (Amplified).

#2. IT CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breed greediness and covetousness – Ecclesiastes 5:10 “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness)” (Amplified).

#3. IT CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of rules, even the law in order to get and acquire more at any cost – Proverbs 28:20, 22 “A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished . . . 22 He who has an evil and envious eye hurries to be rich and does not know that poverty will come upon him” (Amplified).

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

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

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

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

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

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

“. . . 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, AND TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.
