READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY

November 28, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND A WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN [£10] POUNDS NOTE! 

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. 

While relocating to UK years ago, one of my one-time British friend and work colleagues in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and family this statement: 

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and WON’T live IGNORANT and be MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any means – meaning, INFORMATION to anything worthwhile is free and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ to KNOW and OWN IT”. 

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous International Heathrow Airport, London, UK, till date, I have found his statement and candid advice useful – finding READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway. There is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the “MOTHER AND HOME OF DEMOCRACY”. 

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statement knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note, is this inscription that will forever stay with me – “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. What an inspiring and empowering writ. Honestly, for such KNOWING as per the discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay for the service received with the cash note at hand, but paid instead with my debit card to enable me have a more reading in the inscription and description on the Ten [10] pounds note. It’s simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that’s inspiring and empowering to TRIUMPH in life and grace. And it thus means so much to me also – the essence of READING that have defined and given triumph to an informed society that I’ve found myself dwelling. 

It has REKINDLED me to now READ the more, ever than before though an Author and WRITER in my own rights of books and other literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome a wrongly spoken English at home. More so, in the words of my ever-loving dear Mama who once said while getting me ready to be educated at School – “WE CAN’T ALL BE BLIND IN THIS HOUSE, SOMEBODY MUST READ AND WRITE – SO GO TO SCHOOL, AND SHE WILL PAY FOR IT”. I heard it once and over again, I did left her and family that day, with the mission as she said, which was later affirmed by my dad in same thoughts – to READ and WRITE; then the rest siblings followed suits afterwards and she paid for it along with our dad of blessed memory. Blessed she is, for her graciousness and gracefulness in our education – memorable indeed. 

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self-WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living. 

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE IS DESTRUCTIVE AND CANCEROUS. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1 Timothy 4:13 

“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, BRING with thee, AND THE BOOKS, but especially the parchments” 2 Timothy 3:13. 

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“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. 

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31. 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

“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 4:6. 

“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. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16. 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall not FIND it. 13 In that day shall the FAIR virgins and YOUNG men FAINT for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

INFORMED LEADERS ARE READERS

November 8, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

INFORMED LEADERS ARE READERS: AND WORLD CHANGERS!

“Oh that my words were now WRITTEN! oh that they were PRINTED in a BOOK! 24 That they were GRAVEN with an iron pen and LEAD in the rock for ever!” Job 19:23-24.

Just as it’s gracious to have The Holy Written Writ – The Holy Bible, do not take it for granted on other written writ, drawn from the light of the Holy Bible, while you have it available to answer some context for your good as it’s written:

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but HOLY MEN of God SPAKE as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“And until You READ to KNOW And UNDERSTAND what you READ, you are still IGNORANT and not INFORMED – Therefore READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND before you LEAD” – Chukie Morsi Snr

IT’S GRACIOUS TO HAVE THE WRITTEN WORD – DON’T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED WHILE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO READ IT.

Always remember to – “READ BEFORE YOU RUN” in order to avoid regrets and losses.

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN upon TABLES, that he MAY RUN THAT READETH IT . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Having MANY THINGS TO WRITE unto you, I would not WRITE with PAPER and INK: but I trust to come unto you, and SPEAK FACE TO FACE, that our joy may be full” 2 John 1:12.

“I had MANY THINGS TO WRITE, but I will not with INK and PEN WRITE unto thee: 14 but I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall SPEAK FACE TO FACE. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name” 3 John 1:13.

“And the TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.

READING – FACILITATES INFORMED SOCIETY

November 28, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

READING – FACILITATES INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND THE WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN (£10) POUNDS NOTE!

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817.

While relocating to the UK years ago, my one-time British friend and work colleague in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and my family –

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and live MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any – meaning, INFORMATION is free and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ and OWN IT”.

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous Heathrow Airport, London till date I found it useful – READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway – there is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the Mother And Home of Democracy.

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statement knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note is this inscription that will forever stay with me “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. Honestly, for such KNOWING as per discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay with the  cash note at hand, but paid by my debit card. Simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that means so much to me – the essence of READING.

It has REKINDLED me to now READ ever than before though an Author in my own rights of books and literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome wrongly spoken English at home. More so, my ever-loving dear Mama who once said – “We Can’t All Be Blind In This House, Somebody Must Read and Write – so go to School, and she will PAY for it”. I heard it and over again, I did leave to READ and WRITE, then the rest siblings followed suits and she paid along. Blessed her of graciousness and gracefulness.

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living.

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE DESTRUCTIVE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“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.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“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. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

READING – FACILITATES INFORMED SOCIETY

November 28, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

READING – FACILITATES INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND THE WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN (£10) POUNDS NOTE!

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817.

While relocating to UK years ago, my one time British friend and work colleague in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and family –

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and live MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any – meaning, INFORMATION is free and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ”.

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous Heathrow Airport, London till date I found it useful – READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway – there is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the Mother And Home of Democracy.

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statements knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note is this inscription that will forever stay with me “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817.

Honestly, for such KNOWING as per discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay with the cash note at hand but to pay by my debit card. Simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that means so much to me – the essence of  READING.

It has REKINDLED me to now READ ever than before though an Author in my own rights of books and literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome wrongly spoken English at home. More so, my ever loving dear Mama who once said – “We Can’t All Be Blind In This House, Somebody Must Read and Write – so go to School, and she will PAY for it”. I heard it and over again, I did leave to READ and WRITE, then the rest siblings followed suits and she paid along. Blessed her of graciousnesss and gracefulness.

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living.

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE DESTRUCTIVE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1 Timothy 4:13

“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, BRING with thee, AND THE BOOKS, but especially the parchments” 2 Timothy 3:13.

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“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.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“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 4:6.

“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. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall not FIND it. 13 In that day shall the FAIR virgins and YOUNG men FAINT for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

INFORMED Leaders Are READERS And World Changers!

Just as it’s gracious to have The Written WORD – The Holy Bible, do not take it for granted on other written writ in the light of the Holy Bible, while you have it available.

“And until You READ To Know And Understand What You READ, You Are Still Ignorant and not INFORMED – Read, Know And Understand Before You Lead” – Chukie Morsi Snr

“Oh that my words were now WRITTEN! oh that they were PRINTED in a BOOK! 24 That they were GRAVEN with an iron pen and LEAD in the rock for ever!” Job 19:23-24.
