SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTING AND AFFECTION CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH!

God Loves And Cares for your total well being.

“Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever” 1 John 2:15-17 (Amplified).

“1-2 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You LUST for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3 You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way. 4-6 You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t CARE? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous LOVER.” And what he gives in LOVE is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble” James 4:1-6 (The Message Bible).

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? 2 You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. 3 And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. 4 You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. 5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? 6 But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. 7 So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” James 4:1-7 (The Living Bible).

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25.

He that feareth is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:8, 16-18.

Every NEW Day – The NEW CREATION Mindset

May 19, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Every NEW Day – The NEW CREATION Mindset: Truly FREE Indeed – Do You PERCEIVE The Same And ASSURED In Your Being!

What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live; the sorts of car you drive; the size of your bank account; the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; the career you are into; the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to be a Pastor and Pastoring; the trophies, ornaments, treasures or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND?

For me, is the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God LOVES me and HIS presence lives in me and with me and He’s for me – That’s PRICELESS! That’s what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others.

More so, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the NEW CREATION have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and that my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it CAN’T hold back my today and future anymore because of what Jesus has done to wash them away and cleans me from EVERY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS by His precious and REDEEMING BLOOD.

What a true freedom, to live ASSURED from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. Amen. Much more, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that His STEDFAST LOVE never ceases but are new every morning and everyday towards you and I – That’s GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL indeed.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING:

“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.

“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.

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible).

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE

February 13, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE: GOD’S LOVE – The ‘LOVE’ of the Sixth Sense – AGAPE!

This is the LOVE of God which operates by FAITH in God’s Word – it’s called AGAPE LOVE.

This love of God is spiritual; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s sustained and maintained by same Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weariness or limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses’; as such there’s NO room for selfishness, wickedness, maliciousness and greediness.

HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF GOD’S LOVE:

** Its embodiment are HOPE and FAITH for functionality.

** It’s love built on principle, it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless.

** It transcends the natural or material worlds of the Five Senses Love.

** It’s the more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms.

** It enriches all things, transcends culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love.

** It answers every quest of man and its not fathom by the five senses or limited by it.

SOME SCRIPTURAL FOOD FOR THOUGHTS:

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose” Romans 8:28.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, THE THINGS which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him” 1 Corinthians 2:9.

“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 to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (Transcends, Supercedes) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19 (Emphasis Mine).

MIRRORING GOD’S LOVE

June 27, 2015 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MIRRORING GOD’S LOVE: IN THE EYES OF CHRIST!

Mirroring God’s Love: How do you and how are you doing it? Is it through the eyes of your denominational Church by-laws, in the world definition or through the eyes of Christ in the light of the Scriptures?

If you do mirror your essence of God’s love in order to do life through the eyes of the church by-laws or the world definition as seen in today’s view, I promised you this verily, that you will be stigmatised, lock in dogmas, creed, self-centred and eventually – bondage and captivity of all sorts, which may seems good in human eyes of perception but not before God of Love.

But if you mirror God’s love from and through the saving gracious eyes of Christ in order to do life, I can verily promise you, that you will be liberated from all forms of bondage, captivity and eventually- a Wholeheartedly Wholeness – spirit, soul and body- will take hold of you.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from Christ’s if you dare desire to genuinely live free and in grace and in God’s WORD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE is of God; and everyone who LOVES is born of God and knows God. 8 He who DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this the LOVE of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM. 10 In this is LOVE, not that we LOVED God, but that He LOVED us and sent His Son to be the PROPITIATION for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so LOVED us, we also ought to LOVE one another” 1 John 4:7-11.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
