WHEN AT CROSSROADS: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you will PERFORM it until the DAY of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

Are you at crossroads on defining which life PATH to follow in order to AUGUST your life well-being? I know of someone who owns life and had defined it because He had experience it too and AUGUST many innumerable life’s including mine. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST – SAVIOUR AND LORD OF ALL

Just call on Him right now today, and you will never be the same again. The reason being that He’s the same person today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow for your well-being.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

Knowing this, that your secret, innermost path will define or show you up one day; and the beauty and shining light you desire of yourself today is embedded, made and defined already by the secret path of yesterday.

You can start afresh again if you failed yesterday, don’t give up for any reason at all. For God is able in Christ Jesus stead to make it all well for you again in all matters of doing life and living godly.

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

August 2, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: 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 foundation 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 forms of persecutions, in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping the 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 Believer’s 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 in the 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 these 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 – Gods 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 ensures 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 LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, help ensures 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 a mere sight 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 ensures 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 ensures and to be assures that the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEW’S (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILE’S (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 – Jew’s and the born of God Gentile’s [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believer’s 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”

“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.

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST 2022

August 2, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST 2022: THE MONTH TO – “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” IN HIS BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And being the eight month of the year, it represents a NEW BEGINNING. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, means to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus’s stead, to toward being DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of 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 up in Psalms 24:1-2. From the Genesis and Psalmist Scriptures 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 PURPOSE for 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 what I perceive to know in life and grace.

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 in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY through DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him as the scriptures of Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, to thrive, colour and grandeur, to have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 as by the power of attorney on God’s behalf over the works of God’s hands – Isaiah 45:11-12, Psalms 8:4-9; Psalms 115:16.

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 the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fullfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

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 job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic 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 – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you 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 while 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 to 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, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS 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 – Romans 11:12-14.

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 its 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!

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, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things 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 Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall 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, eminent, dignity, revered, 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 him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WELCOME TO MONTH OF AUGUST 2024:THE MONTH OF – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

You are highly and specially WELCOME to MONTH AUGUST 2024 – The MONTH I have entitled: “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”! For by GRACE we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND; and living by and living through THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE, we are ensured and assured of the rights and privileges of our REDEMPTION in Principle, and it belongs to all ends of the spectrum that makes the people that makes up THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus – The JEWS [The CIRCUMCISION] and The GENTILES [The UNCIRCUMCISION] .

The dawn Month AUGUST, is the eight month of the year and thus represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth [8] month of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven [7] months that is 31 days long.

The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in conjunction with the month theme which is “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”, to AUGUST by the theme therefore is to ensure “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

In GENESIS 1-2:3, the scripture gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up 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 in pleasure of His creation as in REVELATION 4:11 and ECCLESIASTES 3:11.

“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.

“He has MADE everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I think and have come to know and understand by the Spirit of God. This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, the man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born and made to begin; meaning the EIGHTH day was the BEGINNING of man [non-gender] to LIVE for purpose and meanings [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-2; Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP]; and it’s for man to start taking on in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God on the seventh [7] day, in order to find his OWN REST when done of God’s purpose for him [Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; Revelation 14:13]; and it’s for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority 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 to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fulfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY TO – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”:

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 when you were starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic 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 – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for an honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you 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 while you need to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE: 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them” Romans 11:12-14.

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 its 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.

Unlike Adam who misplaced his priority with Eve, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall 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.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human compression and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY.

AUGUST ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT: LET GOD BARES YOU TO GLIDE ON EAGLE’S WINGS IN HIS BLESSEDNESS!

Let God bare you and leads you on EAGLES’ FLIGHT as He bares and leads His people before now. He leads them from all oppression and brought them to possess their own possessions in Him. Will you let God do same today in your life? In all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead?

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

“Also I BROUGHT you up FROM the land of Egypt, and LED you forty years through the wilderness, to POSSESS the land of the Amorite” Amos 2:10.

“And He BROUGHT his people SAFELY out from Egypt, LOADED with silver and gold; there were NO sick and FEEBLE folk among them then. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they were gone, for the DREAD of them was GREAT” Psalms 105:37-38 (LB).

The TRUTH is this – you will cease from all the UNPRODUCTIVE living and SURVIVAL mentality realm and move into the REALM wherein you are PRODUCTIVE; and can THRIVE in life and grace effortlessly; and without self struggle, as you LET GOD BARE YOU TO GLIDE IN HIS BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“As an eagle STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH ABROAD her wings, taketh them, BEARETH them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no STRANGE god with him. 13 He MADE him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.

“All the COMMANDMENTS which I COMMAND thee this day shall ye OBSERVE to do, that ye may LIVE, and MULTIPLY, and GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt REMEMBER ALL THE WAY which the Lord thy God LED THEE THESE FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, to HUMBLE thee, and to PROVE thee, to KNOW what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he HUMBLED thee, and SUFFERED thee to hunger, and FED thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; THAT HE MIGHT MAKE THEE KNOW THAT MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY BREAD ONLY, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LORD DOTH MAN LIVE. 4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, TO WALK IN HIS WAYS, AND TO FEAR HIM. 7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a GOOD land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass” Deuteronomy 8:1-9.

“These are THE WORDS of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 3 the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 4 yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 5 And I have LED YOU FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 8 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 9 KEEP therefore THE WORDS of this covenant, and DO them, that ye may PROSPER in all that ye do” Deuteronomy 29:1-9.

IN THE KINGDOM – KINGS RULE AND REIGN

August 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IN THE KINGDOM – KINGS RULE AND REIGN: AND THRONES ARE ESTABLISHED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“IN RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALT THOU BE ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee” Isaiah 54:14.

To AUGUST – is to reign and rule – in life as the REDEEMED – the ROYAL PRIESTHOOD that’s made KING and PRIEST Unto God.

And for you to rule and reign in the kingdom cause of our God, you Need To Be ESTABLISHED IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS Of God which is in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION: but sin is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34.

“It is an abomination to KINGS to commit wickedness: FOR THE THRONE IS ESTABLISHED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS” Proverbs 16:12.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“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 marvellous light” 1 Peter 2:5, 9.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30.

AUGUST YOUR START UP – NO MATTER HOW SMALL

August 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

AUGUST YOUR START-UP – NO MATTER HOW SMALL: THE LATTER WILL COME WITH A GREAT INCREASE!

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER end should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7.

It’s time to maximise your New Dawn – heads up, shoulders high and heels high for higher places towards your plan, purpose and pursuit in Christ Jesus stead. For God’s daily PLANS and THOUGHTS toward you are of PEACE and WELL-BEING, to give you the needed HOPE for today and a FUTURE. Jeremiah 29:11. Therefore I say to you:

DESPISE NOT YOUR BEGINNING NO MATTER HOW SMALL – YOUR GREATNESS LIVES WITHIN IT.

Don’t be ashamed to start small in anything that has a clear purpose in it. With diligent attitude your altitude will come in no time for your steadfast gratitude in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, despised not your small beginning as long as you are not competing and impressing but complementary and expressing the fulness of God in Christ Jesus stead within you, as you do life and godly living.

For to August is to be – graciously dignified, profoundly honoured, befitting as Lord/Lordship, majestic and venerable. Therefore, take a new stride in this Month AUGUST, and AUGUST your life in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God which is of Christ Jesus. That will puts you in a unique pedestal of God’s eternal plans, purposes and pursuits. Upon this I welcome you again to the PATH to August your life in RIGHTEOUSNESS, no matter how small your beginning seems, you are going to get a latter overflow.

DESPISE NOT YOUR BEGINNING – YOUR GREATNESS LIVES WITHIN IT. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For who hath DESPISED the day of SMALL things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth” Zechariah 4:10.

“So the Lord BLESSED the LATTER end of Job more than his BEGINNING: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses” Job 42:12.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11.

“The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE MY FEET like HINDS’ FEET, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” Habakkuk 3:19.

“O ISRAEL, TRUST thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 10 O HOUSE OF AARON, TRUST in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 11 Ye that FEAR the Lord, TRUST in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 12 The Lord hath been MINDFUL of us: he will BLESS us; he will BLESS the HOUSE OF ISRAEL; he will BLESS the HOUSE OF AARON. 13 He will BLESS THEM THAT FEAR the Lord, both SMALL and GREAT. 14 The Lord shall INCREASE you more and more, YOU and YOUR CHILDREN. 15 Ye are BLESSED of the Lord which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he GIVEN to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will BLESS the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord” Psalms 115:9-18.

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU

August 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU: TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN POSSIBILITY!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

Have you ever wondered why our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, made this scriptural context statement in the Gospel of Mark 2:22, while in humanity?

“And no man putteth NEW WINE into OLD BOTTLES: else the NEW WINE doth burst the BOTTLES, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but NEW WINE must be put into NEW BOTTLES” Mark 2:22.

Just to updates your knowledge if you don’t know as some have reasoned. It must be noted that in our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus’s day in humanity, people used animal skins-like goatskin for storing liquids. And fermented drinks like wine expands, and since an OLD WINESKIN would’ve already been stretched to its limit, the NEW WINE would tear the seams. It’s thus means that an OLD WINESKIN (OLD BOTTLE) will not stretch, yield, and respond to the gas pressure developed by the fermenting wine; and because the OLD BOTTLE will not stretch, it will just explode – which means, that both the OLD BOTTLE and WINE will be ruined and lost eventually. That’s a pure reason why a NEW WINE needs to be put into NEW BOTTLES. And when a NEW WINE is put into NEW WINESKINS (NEW BOTTLES), both are preserved and nothing can be ruined and lost in course of time of use.

Also, the essence of the OLD WINE in a NEW BOTTLE is an idiomatic expression in context. It’s indicating and reflecting an OLD existing concept or institution is being offered and applied to be accepted as though it were still good, even when it’s not relevant and applicable in the NEW context. And thus, people who goes accepting and following such concept, are held in bondages and dogmas due to ignorance – the lack of the knowledge and understanding, of the truth – and the TRUTH being of the fact expression on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, and for which Christ Jesus is both THE WORD and THE TRUTH.

“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 8:39-32

“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.

“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.

And there are two things that are very cleared to me in this concept and context above that I will expatiate in details in the future posts which are these:

*1. The continuous use of the Old Testament context, that’s already done away with, to legislate and justify things being practice to make it appears as if it’s still tangible and relevant for the now, when that ought not to be accommodated and accepted at all, knowing in REDEMPTION that Christ Jesus had already fulfilled such context for the saints (Believer’s of God) in His stead. [John 1:45; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 12:2; Romans 10:1-4; Matthew 22:38-46; Matthew 16:13-20].

*2. Another thought thus indicate that the New Wine – who is the Blessed Holy Spirit, is ONLY and PURELY meant and made available to the Believer’s (New Creation) in Christ Jesus and not given to the world (unbelieving one’s toward God and Christ Jesus) – Acts 20:20-21. This thus means that SALVATION access is the only opportunity available to all in the world and not the Holy Spirit. And receiving the Holy Spirit is only made possible after one had received the Salvation gospel in Christ Jesus, and anything else otherwise it’s perversion, counterfeit, adulteration delusions and falsehoods. [John 14:15-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-11; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:1-13; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]

The New Wine speaks of the Holy Spirit; and besides being a Godhead in trinity, and to lead the Believer’s in Christ Jesus in all through humanity, He’s also given to gladden the hearts of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead. Hence part of His characteristics is the believing ones comforter – if you recall that in the scripture, that Christ Jesus did promised and assured the Believer’s in Him of sending them the promised comforter. He called Him the promised of the Father; and that promised had already been fulfilled and available for all to access after salvation without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) and of course irrespective. [John 14:15-17; Romans 5:5; Psalms 104:15; Joel 2:19, 28-29]

The earliest Apostle’s of our Lord Jesus Christ where made to assembled by the instructions given to them by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as in the context of Acts 1:5, 8. This is in order for them to received the promise of the Father God in Joel 2:19, 28-29 and not limited, as emphasis by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus in John 7:37-39 and Luke 24:49. This is in respect and pertaining to receiving the Holy Spirit baptism.

And as they obeyed that instructions as they were fully told, it eventually came to pass as written in Acts 2:1-13, that they eventually received the promised of God to them; which is to all till this day until the Lord returns to all, who will believe on the saving grace in Christ Jesus stead. Those who observed and witnessed the Apostles in this uniquely and blessed manifestation which is attributed to a PENTECOST experience, call the Apostles in the acts and experiences, as a people drunk with a NEW WINE. And of course, they were drunk indeed with a NEW WINE – The HOLY SPIRIT of promise.

It’s upon such uniqueness that Apostle Paul draw out a comparison to the drunkenness effect that people do experience from an ordinary WINE while he admonishes the Ephesians Church to see the need to be also drunk rather with the Holy Spirit in order to have the otherwise contrary results from a mere drunkenness as explained in the context as it’s written:

“. . . 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are FULL of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“And be not DRUNK WITH WINE, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING and making MELODY in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the fear of God” Ephesians 5:18-21.

To being filled with the NEW WINE, the Holy Spirit, requires a NEW YOU, a NEW CREATION body to dwell therein. Otherwise, it’s like putting the NEW WINE in an OLD BOTTLE – the OLD YOU, which is the unregenerate life, unconverted life and unrepentant life. The Holy Spirit of TRUTH is only set aside for the believing ones of God in Christ Jesus stead and not for those in the world that have not believe in the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“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.

I welcome you now to make yourself available to God in Christ Jesus, to become a New Creation in order to access the New Wine that will make all the difference in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU – TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN POSSIBILITY

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR out my spirit upon ALL flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, IF ANY MAN THIRST, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that BELIEVETH on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE: for the Holy Ghost was NOT YET GIVEN; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, THESE MEN ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom moses in the law, and THE PROPHETS, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John 1:45.

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that THE PROPHETS have spoken: 26 ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at MOSES and all THE PROPHETS, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . . . 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in THE LAW OF MOSES, and in THE PROPHETS, and in THE PSALMS, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their UNDERSTANDING, that they might UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES, 46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day” Luke 24:25-27, 44-46.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

“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” John 1:1-5, 14.

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE

August 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE: TO BE EITHER A THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT!

“. . . 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself . . .” Exodus 19:3-6.

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 stead. It’s in your account and power to choose to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself with or to be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow and see.

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 as Apostle Paul warns young Timothy against exposure and sphere. 1 Timothy 1:1-20.

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. Brought us out of the merry clay into His banqueting table, and His banner over us is LOVE. 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 and self-made notions 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 it a thoughts and be richly blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to august your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH. It’s in your hand to COLOUR your worlds of operations and life exploration COLOURFULLY; and thereby THRIVING and FLOURISHING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING, REJUVENATING and GLOWING, knowing that the JUSTIFIED in God by Christ Jesus shall LIVE by his FAITH – Romans 5:2-2; Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 11:1-3).

It’s in this regards of THE WORD OF FAITH, that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born and to fulfill in him as the Father of many nations – Romans 4:17-22; Genesis 12:1-5. It’s by THE WORD OF FAITH, acting as a THERMOSTAT not as a THERMOMETER, that he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will acclaimed also in the Holy Writ: “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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 AMPLIFIED.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 8:8-13.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“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.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 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 19:3-6.

“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.
