MONTH DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BORN IN OUR HEARTS!

Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Georgian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.

** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.

** This number can also represent the church and faith in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.

While Month DECEMBER is unique in many ways, in terms of been the twelve as mentioned above, it’s also gracious to enhance the goodness and blessedness of the BEAUTY in DECEMBER as per the Scriptural writs of the month DECEMBER theme:

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord” Luke 2:11.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

THIS DAY – BEING TODAY – LET – EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BE BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. Upon this phrase in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2020 is Themed.

EMMANUEL – mean – God With Us – thus signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP that we might enjoy God and the heavens on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ – 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is:

“The Yearly And Annual COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”

It is as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ and as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore.

Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship with us and in our path of life – to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

*Peace and goodwill toward men

*Hope, Faith & Love for men

*Fellowship and Relationship with God

* Salvation for all mankind and more.

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned.

a. He’s no longer:

* The babe in the manger

* The servant to death

* The limited one and

* The Christ on the Cross.

b. He’s now the:

* God on the throne

* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)

* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and

* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).

May Christ be all that is mentioned above to you, this Day, this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration. Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

SEPTEMBER 2020 – Dare To PANT After God As The DEER

September 2, 2020 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SEPTEMBER 2020 – Dare To PANT After God As The DEER: Your TRIUMPH is EMBEDDED in It!

The Psalmist indicates that as the DEER pants for the water brooks, so does he after God. To behold His beauty, glory and grace through life than to be in a lamentable state. It’s of the knowing, that in God’s PRESENCE, is the FULNESS – overflow – of joy and at His RIGHT HAND wherein we are positioned in Christ Jesus, are PLEASURES for ever more as enjoined in the Holy Writ – Psalms 16:11; Ephesians 1:20; Ephesians 2:6.

Therefore in this month, take a new turn in life. It’s your time now to – “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, unafraid and unashamed in seeking after God as the Psalmist deed.

What is it then about the DEER spirited animal that’s in comparison to one seeking after God. Herein are few simple characteristics worth knowing:

•• Gentleness and emboldened spirit to take chance – opportunity

•• Ability to move through life and obstacles with grace

•• Being in touch with inner child, innocence – guiltless and easy to trust

•• Being sensitive and intuitive – the horn serves as antenna as our human spirit is in our subconscious towards God by His Spirit through His WORD

•• Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly to avoid danger – of the enemy and cohorts

•• Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries – innovative, relevant, creative and explorer

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

“You will show me the path of life; In Your PRESENCE is FULLNESS of joy; At Your RIGHT HAND are PLEASURES forevermore” Psalms 16:11 NKJV.

“As the DEER PANTS for the WATER BROOKS, So PANTS my soul for You, O God.

2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you DISQUIETED within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10 As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God” Psalms 42 NKJV.

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:19-20 NKJV.

“And RAISED US UP TOGETHER, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6 NKJV.

“The Lord God is MY STRENGTH; He will MAKE MY FEET LIKE DEER’S FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME WALK ON MY HIGH HILLS. . .” Habakkuk 3:19.

** “. . . It is God that GIRDETH me with STRENGTH, and MAKETH my way perfect. 33 He MAKETH my FEET LIKE HINDS’ FEET, and setteth me upon my HIGH PLACES. . .” Psalm 18:32-33 (2 Samuel 22:33-34).

Abiding In God’s Presence

November 8, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Abiding In God’s Presence: Means Abiding In His WORD And Abiding In His LOVE – Nothing More or Less!

Moses demands from the Father God to show him the “WAY” to life. In other words, the “PATH” to true life that’s thriving, fruitful, enjoyable, fulfilling and enduring with the fullness of God within.

And as Moses, to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the fullness of God’s joy and pleasures that is evermore, you must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to abide in God’s presence is to – Abide in His WORD and in His LOVE. Nothing more and Nothing less. This is the how to thrive and rejuvenate in God’s gracious presence.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“. . . 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye ABIDE in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . .” John 15:1 -16.

An Hour In God’s Presence

November 6, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

An Hour In God’s Presence: Endeavour To Practice It Daily!

Can’t You Watch With Me For An Hour? That is, can’t you spend at least an hour in God’s PRESENCE? That was the question that Jesus did asked the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles.

Any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in God’s presence a day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly as the Disciples who couldn’t watch did. If they did watch for an hour in Father’s presence, they would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Marcus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus. Adam and Eve hid themselves too remember; and many same like challenging matters.

Will you watch for an hour at least a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore – (Psalms 16:1).

“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless[e] I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . . 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish[f] by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56 (NKJV).
