And that cannot fail”

** S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest unparalleled force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationized Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to color our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousness and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fullness of our God and well-being.

WE ARE God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, the Church Of JESUS CHRIST, with the eternal back up mandate to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, an OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in everywhere and everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore,

CHURCH ARISE!

Don’t be fooled. Ignorance is destructive, cancerous and killing. Knowledge delivers and emancipates. Understanding gives direction and drive. Wisdom is the application of knowledge.

Therefore, READ BEFORE YOU RUN!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

February 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

People are walking in errors, held captive and taken mistakenly in life because of not having a genuine KNOWLEDGE with the corresponding UNDERSTANDING of the matter in questions about them and those or things they care passionately about. That’s why living by SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION or PRESUMPTION is an error by every means of judgment in the affairs of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING as a redeemed child of God.

It is ‘THE TRUTH’, only THE TRUTH not just TRUTH or a mere ‘FACT or SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION’ or ‘PRESUMPTION’, that you Know, that sets you FREE in the Kingdom; and it’s the TRUTH that gives you the Liberation and genuine Freedom that you need to become a VICTOR and not a VICTIM or PREY. The TRUTH, indicates a person, meaning the personality. Its presence in one’s life creates the being that sets free.

You need to know and understand full well that a mere FACT(S) can be photo shopped or misconstrued and faked – counterfeited; and it’s also limited in divine nature and conscripts to ascertain matters; but THE TRUTH will deal with ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS no matter HOW or WHAT or WHERE or WHEN in one’s spirit being to unveil or uncover that which only the invisible, authenticate WORD of God can reveal (Hebrews 4:12-13).

The TRUTH is self-empowering. Bury the TRUTH, it will arise on the third day without any assistance to ANSWER any QUEST hidden, misconstrued, conspired or deleted.

Living continually by the TRUTH is made possible by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH. For the TRUTH is THE WORD who then is JESUS. He can’t live GENUINELY IN YOU and you still WALK in errors, deceit and compromise. And If you know you are in errors, deceit, compromise and such like, you NEED a wholesome check by God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit to set you free indeed. Then you CAN actually have a solid WORD-Based Foundation in Christ Jesus and continue STEADFASTLY on the WORD, which is the TRUTH to ensure your freedom and liberation in ALL things in the light of the Holy Writ.

It’s my utmost PRAYER today that you might come to know THE TRUTH himself and obtain the liberation and freedom you need now and always in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come” John 16:13.

“For THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE AND FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [b]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

A WORKSHOP INDEED

October 3, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

A WORKSHOP INDEED: A MORE THAN SEMINAR – THE MARRIAGE COURSE!

KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING does not only delivers, emancipates, strengthens, empowers, blossoms, refreshes, rejuvenates and such like, but SAVES a relationship from ignorance, stupidity and foolishness and such like; it also GIVES a relationship a meaningful and purposeful access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

RELATIONSHIP turns into ABUSE (ABNORMAL USE) when PURPOSE are misappropriated and misunderstood. Hence, there is the need to continuously give ones relationship to innovation, creativity and exploration, now and always, in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH, BLOSSOM and REJUVENATE, in LIFE and GRACE, thereby fulfilling meaningful purpose. That’s why been static and dormant is unhealthy for any relationship that intends to thrive and not survive in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need for any desired healthy relationship, to ADD the good of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING to one’s FAITH, the virtues of GRACIOUSNESSS in order to enhance the marital relationship at all levels and stages. Proverbs 4:7; Philippians 4:8; 2 Peter 1:5-11.

And so it was in another time of REFRESHING, REJUVENATING and COLOURING this matter called MARRIAGE @ “THE MARRIAGE COURSE” for additional knowledge and understanding to enhance the marital BLESSEDNESS. This is done in Courtesy and Partnership with F.A.I.T.H MISSION UK (FAMILY ALIVE INTERNATIONAL TEACHING AND HEALING MISSION, UK) of Rev & Mrs. Emmanuel ILEYESA-MANUNGA.

It was a full day Couple Synergy experience @ the City of Bristol, UK. Running Time: 9:00am – 6:30pm which just ended on September 30.

I hope you will join us in keeping families alive in the next upcoming ‘THE MARRIAGE COURSE’. (I will keep you posted).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“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 Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:5-11.

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN: KNOW The SCRIPTURES For YOURSELF!

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . ” Isaiah 5:11-16.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE TO MAKE thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

The Spirit of UNDERSTANDING

July 24, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The Spirit of UNDERSTANDING: A Key ASKING To Enact You In Living And Doing Life Wisely!

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely.

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 in the Spirit of understandable knowledge for the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE, and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to nowhere until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYER LINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 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, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVES FAVOUR: but the way of transgressors (ignorance) is hard (difficult, rough)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis mine).

“The man that WANDERS OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead (unproductive, ignorant and unwise people)” (Proverbs 21:6 (Emphasis mine).

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

WISDOM NUGGETS

July 19, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING PURPOSE!

I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header and the content to read along. For while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully. You need to have the perspective of each respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

LET US CONSIDER THE PERSPECTIVES RESPECTIVELY:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

It thus also means, being passionate about something as: Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:

“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 (PASSION) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavors with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

It thus means that, as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. Simply for this reason to add understanding to knowledge:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILMENT in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

REV CHUKIE MORSI

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

June 22, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”.

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one-time poverty-stricken rise to grace from grass. All because they assume the rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal, without understanding what’s the take on and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty-stricken took to knowledge know-how along with an understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes and challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”.

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making a decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch. INFORMED – knowledge and understanding – LEADERS, LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS, and are – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor-like. WHICH ARE YOU – LEADER or RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. Pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY the known to achieve meaningfully and purposefully for one’s life fulfillment. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.
