April 21, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LETS PRAY FOR OUR ECCLESIASTICAL CHURCH MINISTERS: THERE WILL BE HEALING IN OUR LAND!

“Praying ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And FOR ME, that UTTERANCE may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY, to make known the MYSTERY of the GOSPEL” Ephesians 6:18-19.

There’s the need to PRAY for your Church Minister’s and the leadership team in order to:

* Advance the Kingdom causes of our God

* Keep the Enemy and Cohorts at Bay in everyway

* Bring forth the needed Healing to the Community/Society at Large.

Are you a Christian? Great! Do you belong to a local Church/denomination settings, and you an indeed a committed member? That’s Marvellous!! It will be more gracious and graceful to PRAY MORE for your Pastor’s and Church leadership, to make profit of your God given time than expending precious time on those your groans, murmurs and complaints about your Church and Members problems all the time.

“PRAY FOR US: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” Hebrews 13:18.

Your prayers in the THERE Church of yours, can do more to Advance the kingdom causes of God, keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and give birth to the needed healing to the community and society at large, than your mere talking more of the problems surrounding your Church and community with all the God given time.

“Now I BESEECH you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, THAT YE STRIVE TOGETHER WITH ME IN YOUR PRAYERS TO GOD FOR ME; 31 that I may be DELIVERED from them that do not believe in Judæa; and that MY SERVICE which I have for Jerusalem may be ACCEPTED of the saints; 32 that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be REFRESHED” Romans 15:30-32.

Civil leaders may try and endeavour to do their civic duties BUT if the Church can’t change society for the good of all, no one can. The Church is God’s measuring tape of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to the society and community. That is the truth! That’s why your PRAYERS will be EFFICACIOUS to make the change and difference for now, today and tomorrow.

“. . . 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses HELD UP HIS HAND, THAT ISRAEL PREVAILED: AND WHEN HE LET DOWN HIS HAND, AMALEK PREVAILED. 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur STAYED UP HIS HANDS, THE ONE ON THE ONE SIDE, AND THE OTHER ON THE OTHER SIDE; and his hands were STEADY until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua DISCOMFITED Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword . . .” Exodus 17:8-16.

Christ is building His Church, you can be a part of it through prayers than being a sideline inspector, spectator and gossip talker and author of anarchy and schism. The society and community are so polarised today with all sorts of ills. The Church is on demand to bring the change but needs Kingdom grace today than ever before, to heal humanity and society.

“Continue in PRAYER, and WATCH in the same with thanksgiving; 3 WITHAL PRAYING ALSO FOR US, that God would open unto us a door of UTTERANCE, to SPEAK THE MYSTERY of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak” Colossians 4:2-4.

JUST PRAY, THE MORE! And God Will surely HEAL the LAND, and that needs of yours and that of the larger community and humanity will be met in grace.

LETS PRAY FOR OUR ECCLESIASTICAL LEADERS – AS OUR GOD BUILD HIS CHURCH THROUGH THEM

I pray you God’s grace and speed in this mantle of knowledge and understanding for your good in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If I SHUT up heaven that there be NO rain, or if I command the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears ATTENT unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“PRAY FOR US: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” Hebrews 13:18.

“. . . 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED AND RESTORED. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:13-16 Amplified.

“. . . 23 And BEING LET GO, they went to THEIR OWN COMPANY, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24 And when they heard that, they LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: 25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, THAT WITH ALL BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK THY WORD, 30 by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS. 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all . . .”Acts 4:1-37.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

March 13, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE FEAR OF SICKNESSES AND DISEASES MUST NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR GOD’S BANNER OVER YOU IS HEALTHY LIVING – HEALING AND HEALTH!

“For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22 IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD; IS THERE NO PHYSICIAN THERE? why then is not the HEALTH of the daughter of my people recovered?” Jeremiah 8:21-22.

Are there SICKNESSES And DISEASES? YES! Are there COVID-19? YES! or CORONA-VIRUS? YES! Are there other viral DISEASES? YES! Are there any other fatal and nonfatal DIS-EASE? YES! Are all they there to have DOMINION over you? NO! For there’s HEALTH AND HEALING Balm in Gilead. For Jesus Christ is your HEALING and HEALTH Balm for your today and tomorrow

There are THREE Effects of SIN that REDEMPTION DEED of CHRIST Did for you. And FAITH on the done DEED of Christ Jesus SETTLES ALL especially now on SICKNESS And DISEASES in consideration, which includes such like – COVID-19 alias CORONA-VIRUS and others.

These EFFECTS of SIN are:

** POVERTY

** SICKNESS and

** SPIRITUAL DEATH

FAITH in God is the ANTIDOTE to FEAR which is the ENEMY and COHORTS vehicle to police these effects on mankind. Be free in Christ Jesus stead I plead with you today.

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

February 24, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: HE ILLUMINATES, REVITALISES, REFRESHES AND REJUVENATES YOUR WHOLESOME BEING!

“For with STAMMERING LIPS and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

Dearly Beloved in Christ Jesus stead, it’s now a high time to refresh, build up, revive, illuminate, revitalise, rejuvenate and renew your days and wellbeing by PRAYING in the Spirit. This will keep you keeping on, in ALL that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

What it takes to build up, illuminate, revitalise, refresh and rejuvenate in order to beautify and colour your triune being – [spirit, soul and body] – is within you. Keep your being ALIVE and BUILT-UP by PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“For with STAMMERING LIPS and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“With all prayer and petition PRAY [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] IN THE SPIRIT, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [a]God’s people” Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified).

“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 (Amplified).

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together . . . 26 Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the hearts KNOWETH what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh INTERCESSION for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17, 26-27.

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING

December 7, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING: PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP ENHANCED BY FELLOWSHIP!

“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 [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6].

Sometimes People talk and almost boast on how much they do fast or have fasted and prayed and praying as to qualify or earn them somehow a spiritual status of greatness; more especially as we are about turning into a new year, some will set days or weeks or months as if they are in a comparable state to prove something. Forgetting that they who go comparing themselves for whatever reason in this Kingdom causes are not Scripturally wise – meaning are foolish, ignorant and immature for such act of comparison intent as written:

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the NUMBER, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

Prayer or praying and fasting is a vitality and necessity for every Christian faith believer in Christ Jesus of which I acclaimed to belong. I love to vitalise my faith through all that, but as important as any or both vitalities and necessities are, they are void if the objective is not primarily about FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God as a result of being born of God and for the good and goodness of God’s cause on earth for mankind in Christ Jesus stead.

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

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

And to engage in an effective PRAYERS and probably with FASTING in FELLOWSHIP to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God for any cause, there’s the need to live a life of FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS to necessitate them. Many may say they can or may FORGIVE but can’t possibly FORGET. Can you imagine God, ONLY FORGIVING you of your shortfalls and NOT FORGETTING about it? and you want to claim to live or be living in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead without such knowing and understanding as God’s offspring?

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye SHALL HAVE them. 25 And WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your TRESPASSES. 26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES” Mark 11:24-26.

And one needs to know that as God is in Christ Jesus, so ARE we in this world, in order to carry on His GOSPEL mandate without an “IF and BUT” baggages – 1 John 4:17-18 [John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5]. This then indicates that there’s therefore something more of a FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES we need to uphold in grace by faith, in order to enhance PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING. Thus, there is more to PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING toward our – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – which are in twine with FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS. Otherwise, prayer will be UNANSWERED and one is only a noise maker of self gratification and in deceptions, no matter how much you acclaimed to prayers or prayer and fasting.

For PRAYER or PRAYING AND FASTING to be effectual – productive and results oriented, it must have the FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL principles called a RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead and enhanced through FELLOWSHIP accordingly. That’s the basic principle that any one who intends to reach out to God must endeavour to establish for themselves otherwise middle men cohorts in the name of God with titles and entitlements, will take advantage of such vulnerability and ignorance, and become a god and wants to do god to such an individual which is unscriptural and unfounded in the Christian FAITH foundation and fundamental, which justification and access by faith is only of – REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward Christ Jesus. Amen. [Acts 20:20-21].

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publicly, 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.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

And to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus Christ, the act of communion – FELLOWSHIP, is a necessity and vitality for one to fulfill PURPOSE with God. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The act of FELLOWSHIP is to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, and this act to enhance is only possible with a spirited heart of forgiving (FORGIVENESS) and forgetting (FORGETFULNESS) on the human part toward God in Christ Jesus, toward self and toward others. You can’t get yourself entangle with unforgiveness and unforgettable attitude to God, to self and to others and wants to enjoy God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s upon this principle aforementioned, that PRAYERS – PRAYING AND FASTING – act can be of EFFECTUAL – productive and result oriented with the peace, assurance that transcends and surpasses human comprehension and understanding. [Mark 11:20-26; Matthew 5:38-48; James 5:13-18, Philippians 4:6-7. Ephesians 3:14-20].

I pray that you receive the grace for an effectual and efficient FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, that will enhanced your PRAYER life through the Spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness with – God, Self and others – in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE NEED TO PRAY

November 26, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE NEED TO PRAY: PRAYING IS HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD ON HIS WORD – AND KNEELING INDICATES BEING PURPOSEFUL, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING AND MORE!

“We should PRAY when we are in a PRAYING mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should PRAY when we are not in a PRAYING mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.” – Charles Spurgeon.

There’s the NEED to PRAY and the NEED in making it your PERSONAL AND INESCAPABLE OBLIGATION and not SOMEONE else. Don’t be a PRAYER DISTRIBUTOR person and or COLLECTION CENTRE, but a KNEELING Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For KNEELING indicates – Winning, Dominion, Thriving, Victory, Overcoming, Triumph and More Than CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In the PRAYER acts of C. Spurgeon, I have met people with the URGED to PRAY but took the opportunity for granted for other activities, and had suffered the consequences of their spiritual neglects.

I’ve met also people who create no time to see praying or prayers as their SPIRITUAL responsibility and accountability, and have had the consequences of taking their spiritual responsibility and accountability for granted.

However, I’ve seen people who took time to PRAY when the urge to PRAY is done on them, and who also take PRAYERS and PRAYING as their personal spiritual responsibility and accountability and not someone else, even when the urge is not there; and through PRAYERS, they have averted adversities and kept at bay the ENEMY and COHORTS; and through PRAYERS, the good and goodness of God’s BLESSEDNESS have come their way and that of others they had prayed along for and with, quietly and or publicly.

Don’t take your act to PRAYERS and PRAYING for granted. Don’t make it someone else RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY – make them yours. It’s time to know your God and be with Him in PRAYERS to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay and have the heavens at your answer.

There’s is the need to PRAY – for PRAYING is humbling yourself before God on His WORD – and KNEELING indicate PURPOSEFULNESS, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in CHRIST JESUS stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT” Luke 18:1.

“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.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

LIVE TO FORGIVE – JUSTIFY AND EMBRACE

November 22, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVE TO FORGIVE – JUSTIFY AND EMBRACE: IT’S AN ANTIDOTE TO BITTERNESS, WRATH, RANCHOR AND UNANSWERED PRAYERS – APPLY IT TODAY!

“And WHENEVER you STAND praying, if you have anything AGAINST anyone, FORGIVE him, that your Father in heaven may also FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if you do NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father in heaven FORGIVE your trespasses” Mark 11:25-26.

God did not only FORGIVES us our SIN but does forgives us every now and always in our sinful nature shortfalls in Christ Jesus. And to ensure and assure it, He JUSTIFIED us and EMBRACED us that we might have ACCESS in His grace and walk daily before Him in FREEDOM – without shame, fear, torments and condemnation. THINK ABOUT IT! It WORTH everything in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 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. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:1-2, 5-8.

God in His plight of FORGIVENESS, He called us to a place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with us and to ensure that we have a meaningful purpose – the reason to live daily; more so, without being ashamed, self-condemnation, feel guilty or embarrassed and such like, because His lovingkindness surpasses and transcends all measures of wrong doings against Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

It also thus mean, that RESENTING whosoever will not help you. For you can’t RESENT the person you INTENTIONALLY PRAY to God about FOR the good and goodness of such a person, if you genuinely BELIEVE God for an ANSWER to your prayers. But you will be entangled in SELF BONDAGE and BITTERNESS, WRATH, RANCHOR and ANGER when you don’t genuinely PRAY FOR and PRAY AGAINST the one you are intending or already RESENTING as the Holy writ enjoined – [Matthew 5:38-48]. It’s simply because we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. [Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6]. Hence, our priorities have to be set alright if we must enjoy our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.

Genuine FREEDOM is only possible if you commit to pray for the one that hurts you. You can’t be taking PAIN RELIEVER for another’s ache in BITTERNESS, WRATH and UNANSWERED PRAYERS. So get out of your high horse and do the scriptural wise thing.

May God gives you the enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS to live FREE in Christ Jesus stead in everyway scripturally Amen.

Live JOYFULLY With Your Wife: It Results An UNHINDERED PRAYERS And Effectual ANSWERS!

“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” Ecclesiastes 9:9

Living for unhindered PRAYERS and ANSWERS is a spiritual FAITH medicinal for EFFECTUAL living – and you can begin the journey now to live FAITHFULLY and JOYFULLY with your lovely spouse as a NEVER-LIKE-NOTHING-ELSE to do in life and godly living. If you want to excel and explore in the grace of God and have an unhindered life of prayers and effectual results in your doing life and living godly, then live JOYFULLY with your wife intelligently through knowledge.

“In the same way you married men should LIVE considerately with [your wives], with an INTELLIGENT recognition [of the marriage relation], HONORING the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are JOINT HEIRS of the GRACE (God’s unmerited favour) of life, in order that your PRAYERS may NOT be HINDERED and CUT OFF. [Otherwise, you cannot pray effectively.]” 1 Peter 3:7/Amplified Classic Edition.

Marital PURPOSE are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And lack of knowledge creates an atmosphere of abuse – abnormal use, being abusive of the marital purpose. For when people have no pure knowledge and understanding of a thing, especially as to their marital stand in the grace, they abuse it and become abusive, which hinders an effective and efficient prayers for an onward and upward trajectory in the relationship. Could that be why you are at a standstill and not making a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling progress in the grace?

“Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the GRACE of life; that your PRAYERS be not hindered” 1 Peter 3:7.

The most effective way to do life and live godly is to be in communication with God. For God hears and answers PRAYERS by the last time I checked which is now [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 50:15; Psalms 91:14-16]. And an answered PRAYERS can only come through a gracious acts of communion, which is in fellowship with the heavenly, to enhanced the relationship of being born of God in the earthly affairs; but when that acts of communion is hindered because of not dwelling with your spouse joyfully through knowledge, then the commanded blessings that’s attached and that ought to be inherited in the grace of the marital relationships wherein you are called, will then be hindered.

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9.

I plead with you today, to put your marital relationship back on track, by dwelling with your wife joyfully through knowledge and you will see how flawless, effortless and seamless your PRAYERS with the heavenly for your earthly affairs will become fruitful, blossom, rejuvenate and gracious. Make peace with your wife today ooh man and enjoy divinity in your path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards in the marital grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the same way, you husbands, LIVE with your wives in an UNDERSTANDING WAY [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her HONOR and RESPECT as a fellow HEIR of the grace of life, so that your PRAYERS will not be HINDERED OR INEFFECTIVE” 1 Peter 3:7 (Amplified)

” . . . 6 even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.
