Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”

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

James 4:13-17 “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Luke 12:15 (13-21) “. . . And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully . . .”

Ecclesiastes 9:9-12 “Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.”

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense 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.)’’

John 10:10 ‘’The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’’

2 Corinthians 4:10-11 ‘’Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh‘’

August 2012 Theme

Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord & Saviour King – Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. With awesome privilege, I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this Month of August 2012, which is THEMED: Arise & Shine! “Achievers Act To August A Difference In Life & Godliness“

The Month of August is the eight month of the year. It thus signifies a new beginning. And to august means to dignify and imposing, distinguish and exalt; to be venerable, to inspire respect and admiration; to be illustrious and more.

Hence, this month of August is your month to arise and shine making a difference. Here are some of the  scriptures for the theme:

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!” (Amplified).

Proverbs 24:15-16 “Don’t interfere with good people’s lives; don’t try to get the best of them. No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.” (The Message Bible)

Psalms 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.“ (KJV)

Psalms 37:23-24 “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. 24 Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.“(Amplified).

Micah 7:8-10 “Don’t, enemy, crow over me. I’m down, but I’m not out. I’m sitting in the dark right now,   but God is my light. I can take God’s punishing rage. I deserve it—I sinned. But it’s not forever. He’s on my side and is going to get me out of this. He’ll turn on the lights and show me his ways. I’ll see the whole picture and how right he is. And my enemy will see it, too, and be discredited—yes, disgraced! This enemy who kept taunting, “So where is this God of yours?” I’m going to see it with these, my own eyes— my enemy disgraced, trash in the gutter. “ (The Message Bible)

There is no room to be at ease in Zion and achieve an illustrious life and godliness, because it’s very expensive to be at ease in the midst of divine opportunities and surprises (Amos 6:1-3; 2 Samuel 11).  I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with the undermentioned scriptures to read, in this AFD AUGUST 2012 Edition for your perusal and as a guide of grace to give you a line of food for thought indicating how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32).

Mark 2:1-12 “And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.”

However, this month theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the Month/year in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

I gladly welcome you, your friends and family to be with us in Fellowship and Worship. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God. I pray that God revitalizes and rejuvenate you and all that is about you, so that you may become the very best of which God has created you to be in your daily journey of Destiny Moulding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment, Community Social Enrichment and Development and Readily Prepared, Awaiting The Lord’s Return.

Until then, have an amazing, majestic and awesome Month to “Arise & Shine” in AUGUST 2012.

Amazing Grace,

Pst Chukie.

August 2011 Theme

Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord & Saviour King – Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. With awesome privilege, I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this MONTH of AUGUST 2011 Themed: “Envision to Reign in Life”.

Jeremiah 17:12 “12 A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary“.

May I begin by saying that you are redeemed of God to reign in life through Christ Jesus our Lord. This is absolutely certain, a fact and truth to all areas of our life. It’s not limited to certain group, class, gender or colour of people. But its a choice of life for all in Christ Jesus our Lord. God wants you to reign in life hence Christ paid for your liberty and freedom to reign in life. To reign over Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death. Much more, over all the effects that these three elements have cause to humanity in all aspect of livelihood, be it in Business, Marriage, Family, Politics, Career, Leadership, Community Cohesion and National Unity. Hence to reign in this context is much more about being able to predominate, take charge, to govern, to rule, to prevail, to triumph, to achieve, to bring under control, to direct and to lead etc.

Revelation 5:9-10 “9 And they sang a new song, saying: “ You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth.“

Romans 5:17 “17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will REIGN in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)”

To Envision is to imagine possible, conceive of, see of ones mind, envisage, ideate, picture to oneself, visualize, figure, image, see etc of the plan, purpose, and pursuit of God in your life to succeed, triumph, overcome, win and achieve greatness. Ignorance of these will hinder you to august (inspire, grand, noble, honour, admire) your life to reign as in these Scriptures:

Proverb 21:16 “16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.”

Proverb 13:15 “15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard (difficult).”

More importantly your inability to envision will not only cost you dearly, but will make you be a murmurer, complainer and a proverb as in Ecclesiastes 10:6-7:

“6 Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich (*) sit in a lowly place. 7 I have seen servants on horses, While princes (**) walk on the ground like servants.”

(* 2 Cor. 8:9; Eph. 1:7;, 2:4, 7; 3:8; Phil 4;19; Col 1;27; 2:2) (** Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-12)

This is the exact event that happened to the man describe in the Bible Scripture of Mark 8:22-26:

“22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. 24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” 25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.”

When Jesus spit into the blind man eye that he may see (envision) his sight to greatness, the man failed the first test when Jesus asked him what do you see (envision). He said he saw men like trees walking. That’s how some people in the kingdom are today. They can see fully the television of life but can’t envision or perceive the light of the scripture in their life, hence can’t achieve, win, and triumph by the scripture in most of their life battles. Thank God for Jesus, gave the man another opportunity. He needed to do it again for the blind man to see (envision) his life clearly. If you are in this state, this theme is made or assigned for you as a wake up call for you to arise and envision so that both you and those that you could have affected positively can now at least one more time begin to experience the glorious changes needed to reign in life.

Jeremiah was limiting himself in Jeremiah 1:6. He claimed to be a child or novice in spiritual leadership and probably things that pertains to life and godliness in the kingdom. However, in Jeremiah 1:7-10, the Lord spoke into him the words of grace and asked him a question as in  Jeremiah 1:11-12 “What do you see”. In other words, what do you envision. The Lord knows that his power to see (envision) will grant him insight and foresight in all that pertains to God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for him to reign and achieve in life as he did eventually, being one of the major Prophets of the bible days. The envision answers to the Lords quest to him was the turning point of the fear and obscure man into a glorious location as in Jeremiah 17:12.

This is the same statement of life that the Lord brought before our father of faith – Abraham in Genesis 13:14-18. The Lord God said to Abraham that as far as he can see (envision) so can he possess for an inheritance – Genesis 13:15.

Until prophet Isaiah  – King Uzziah – died (Isaiah 6:1-9), he could not see (envision) the glorious positioning of his life and ministry. When the flesh died out of him, Isaiah for the first time saw (envision) the fullness of His destiny in God. The rest are history today!

There is hope for you today for the Porter’s second touch, that you may picture clearly, the path of life for you and you to reign in life. For a clear cut envision of and in life will help you do life without stress, sweat, struggle and pain.

However, more of this theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the month. I gladly welcome you, friend and family if you have one to be with us in Fellowship and Worship. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God.

Until then, have an amazing, majestic and awesome MONTH of gracious opportunity to AUGUST your life and REIGN according to the Scriptures.

In Christ Love,

Pst Chukie.

AUGUST 2007

 

An Awesome Month of: ADDING TO YOUR FAITH in Christ JESUS in achieving your desired goals in life.

 

2 Peter 1:1-11

1. Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5. And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

  

The above scriptures highlight some spiritual additives. These spiritual additives in verses 5 – 7 i.e. virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity, are vital in our faith in Christ Jesus in order to partake fully in the blessings of verses 1 – 4 and 8 – 11. As Achievers with a great destiny in and ahead of us, we cannot afford to be lukewarm in our faith walk in an ungodly, unbelieving and spiritually decaying world as the Laodicea’s did.

Revelations 3:14-19  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, Iwill spew thee out of my mouth.

17. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

The scriptures say that Jesus came to deliver us from the evil of this world.

Galatians 1:3-4 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

 

Luke 1:68-75 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

 

Colossians 1:13 ‘’Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son’’

 

Hebrews 2:14-15 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

 

 This is a done work but we need to enact our faith with some spiritual principles that enhance our faith in order to achieve our desires in life.

 

Therefore arise and ADD to your FAITH these spiritual additives to enable you to avert avenues of spiritual barrenness, blindness etc, that hinder one from achieving goals in the knowledge of Gods’ Word for ones blessings. It is when man sleeps spiritually that the enemy of our faith comes in to sow tares, leaving one spiritually blind and ignorant to ones position, rights and privileges in Jesus Christ.

 

Matthew 13:24-30, Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 

 Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding gives favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

 

Its time to make our calling in Christ Jesus sure, in order to enable our access into the abundance of the Kingdom of God and the promises in:

 2 Pet. 1:1-4 ‘’Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust’’ 

 

and

 

 2 Pet. 1: 8-11 ‘’For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’’

 

This is your month to reign form your POSITION in Christ Jesus and not from your CONDITION.

 

Be Augustly Blessed!
