THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

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

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundational basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any form of persecution in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping Satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believers of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists of BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through this four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensure that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
The UNSEEN: Living by the THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, helps one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond mere sights before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensure a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensure and to be assured that the Believers of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEWS (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILES (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jews and the born of God Gentiles [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believers in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

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

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH

August 2, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH: ITS TIME TO MAKE A NEW YOU START-UPS – TO BEAR YOUR OWN YOKE – IF NOT HAPPY AT HOME!

“It is GOOD for a man that he BEAR the YOKE in his YOUTH” Lamentations 3:27.

It’s AUGUST – the Month 8; Adam START-UPS was on the day 8th, while God RESTED on the day 7th after creation, as in Genesis – The Holy Scriptural Book of Beginning. It’s time to stop living for an ENTITLEMENT, it’s time to be creative and innovative, to explore and initiate that beautiful onward and upward trajectory insights and foresights that you’ve so much dreamed to become.

So, if you do think Parent’s are harassing and bothering you? and you think you are a grown adult? then it’s time to be PRINCIPLED and then shoulder adult RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY – and all bothering problems will be resolved. Otherwise, don’t complain. Enough of the entitlement syndrome. You can’t lay claims to be treated as an adult with a childish and childlike behaviour. Just be informed – No parents take or tolerate such double standard. A life that’s worth living is at a cost and not a give away – and you can make your best day for today and tomorrow, to become a reality when you stand up to make your day count and account for your good at your own cost. Therefore, arise, dust off the entitlement syndrome and take a new step of faith to own your today and tomorrow by launching out to bear your own burden and take care of the yoke as a grown adult.

“When I was a CHILD, I SPAKE as a CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD as a CHILD, I THOUGHT as a CHILD: but when I BECAME a MAN (ADULT), I put away CHILDISH things” 1 Corinthians 13:11 (Emphasis Mine).

If YOKE is easy and parents are TROUBLESOME, let the YOUTH give it a go without complains and murmurs. You can GET or CREATE a job, it’s all worth it for your yoke bearing while its day before the night of life falls before you and it’s late to make your good happen to you.

NOW GIVE IT A GO. DON’T GIVE UP. DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF – YOU CAN BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE BY GOD IN HIS GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

AUGUST: OUR MONTH ON “EAGLES’ FLIGHT”!

August 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

AUGUST: OUR MONTH ON “EAGLES’ FLIGHT”!

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, IF ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a KINGDOM of PRIESTS, and an HOLY NATION. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:4-6.

As God’s special people and chosen generation, we can make a gracious difference in LIFE and GODLINESS only by the glide on EAGLE’S FLIGHT.

As you glide on Eagle’s Flight, you will be renewed day by day in God’s refreshing grace. No flapping – hence no lost of strength and weariness of any sorts – Isaiah 40:31. For on Eagles’ Flight you can SHOW FORTH the glory of Him that have called you from darkness to light without shame and fear of any phobia.

In the OLD TESTAMENT it was preconditioned to have an entrance to BECOME God’s treasured and special person/people, but in the NEW TESTAMENT, grace is BESTOWED in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus to BECOME special and peculiar. Amen.

So it’s your moment to AUGUST your LIFE and GODLY LIVING on EAGLES’ FLIGHT.

Churches Arise – And Make The Difference In Grace!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus. Christ . . . 9 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 MARVELOUS 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 2:5, 9.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:5.

Further Scriptural Reading: Revelation 5:9-10; John 3:3-8.

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of The 42nd GENERATION

August 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of the 42nd GENERATION: It’s Your Time To August Your Life – It’s Your New Dawn Day and Dawn Month!

AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. The name AUGUST means inspiring REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to august therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more such like . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth, as summed in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to have pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE from the REST of God; and to exercise his eminent authority to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and reign and live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the holy writ scriptures – Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance his PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to the scriptures – (Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20).

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much deserved and cherished – and how well you prepared and dressed up for it; Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable; Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value; Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured that it’s the most talked about honourable marriage that’s at the top of the note before all invited friends and families. Think of the situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. This is what it means to AUGUST an occasion and precisely, to AUGUST this month of AUGUST in LIFE and GODLINESS.

This is what makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, I AUGUST my office of CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, fashion of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

“The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . .16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations” Matthew 1:1-17.

“. . . 9 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 2:5-10.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST

August 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”!

You are highly WELCOME to the DAWN of our eighth [8] month AUGUST – our NEW DAWN MONTH in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that is, it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore, means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it became the most talked about day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios, but you have some and can testify to that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore, it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and why to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFY or DIGNIFY my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminence, dignity, reverence, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

AFD AUGUST 2025

August 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie 1 Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST 2025: THE MONTH IS ENTITLED – “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!
“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

I want to specially WELCOME you by the scriptures of Revelation 19:9-10 and Philippians 2:16, to the DAWN of the eighth [8] month in the year of the Lord 2025; for the Month AUGUST – thus signify a NEW DAWN MONTH to share in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And the month AUGUST is entitled – Month of “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS* in the grace as we do life and live godly in Him.

The Month AUGUST, being the eight month of the year and thus represents a new beginning, is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long.

And it’s my earnest PRAYERS as we’ve turned into this month for us to hold unto that PRINCIPLE in the grace that will help and keep us to do life and live godly in the grace.

The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace, as being sanctified – as to being set apart for uniqueness and class for – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And with regards to the theme, it takes the holding forth the testimony of Jesus to ensure and be assured any in the grace to august, thus meaning, to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.

And through the month AUGUST, I will be exploring on how we can hold forth the testimony of Jesus in every aspects of our doing life and living godly in thee grace. For it’s in our Holding forth the testimony of Jesus, that will can experience the genuine spirit of prophecy that’s unadulterated, uncompromising, unpolluted and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And it’s simply because in the grace, we have A MORE ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY to ensure that we are assured of God’s BLESSEDNESS as it’s written:

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

And one major principles of HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, is by HOLDING FORTH TO THE WORD OF LIFE in the grace unwaveringly as written:

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

Therefore, in this Month AUGUST, I hope you will get yourself ready for the teaching ride on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus on what “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST” will results.

Welcome once again to the month AUGUST! And may you find a reason to ensure and assure yourself, that as you hold forth the testimony of Jesus you will experience the blessedness of grace in respects to being REVERED, be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.

Be blessed in the grace as we explore the theme through the month in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all” Philippians 2:13-17.

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the law among my disciples . . . 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no light in them” Isaiah 8:16-20.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“BE NOT THOU THEREFORE ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD, NOR OF ME HIS PRISONER: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles” 2 Timothy 1:8-11.

“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 even as THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WAS CONFIRMED IN YOU: 7 so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

“Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 HOLDING THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:8-9.

“For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 HOLDING FAST THE FAITHFUL WORD as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers” Titus 1:7-9.

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY

July 30, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY: THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDES EFFECT’S!

“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.

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

“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.

Money is good when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not made to be as lord to every vital and legal means of living and doing life. You have to make money a servant or an errand tool only, and not your life controller, for only then will you experience the PEACE of mind that’s indescribable and incomprehensible. With peace of mind, one is able to be CONTENT and LIVE GODLY, and to keep THE “LOVE OF MONEY” temptation at bay.

You must know and understand as God’s own that GAIN is not GODLINESS or equal to GODLINESS, but rather, that GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT, is a great GAIN as the Scripture enjoined.

“. . . 6 But GODLINESS actually is a SOURCE of GREAT GAIN when accompanied by CONTENTMENT [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the SUFFICIENCY of God]” 1 Timothy 6:3-6/Amplified.

And in as much as Money is good for the causes already explained, there’s a problem when one falls into the phase and sphere of – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”. For “THE LOVE OF MONEY” has some CAUSES and SIDES EFFECTS. And herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS to observe, in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – “THE LOVE OF MONEY” syndromes:

“THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleeplessness moments, if and when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“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” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

“THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breeds greediness and covetousness.

“He who LOVES MONEY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES abundance with its GAIN. This too is vanity [emptiness]” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the BREAKING OF RULES, even THE LAW in order to get and acquire more at any cost irrespective of the underlying consequences.

“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.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a MONEY LOVER for mere self and selfish gratifications at – the EXPENSE of others, the decency and order of the RULE of law, the worth of living good to yourself, to family and to the community and to the nation you service.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“. . . 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.

“But if any PROVIDE NOT for his own, and specially for those of his OWN house, he hath DENIED THE FAITH, and is WORSE than an INFIDEL (UNBELIEVER)” 1 Timothy 5:8.

“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye WITHDRAW yourselves from every brother that WALKETH DISORDERLY, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we BEHAVED NOT OURSELVES DISORDERLY among you; 8 neither did we eat any man’s BREAD FOR NOUGHT; but wrought with LABOUR and travail night and day, that we might not be CHARGEABLE to any of you: 9 not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, THAT IF ANY WOULD NOT WORK, NEITHER SHOULD HE EAT. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you DISORDERLY, working not at all, but are BUSYBODIES. 12 Now them that are such we COMMAND and EXHORT by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they WORK, and EAT their OWN bread” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12.
