February 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY: MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

A JOB is what you are employed and tutored to do and you can be suspended, sacked, retrenched, dismissed and retired even against your will; but A WORK is what you ARE made of, an IN-BUILT in you to do and no man can suspend, sack, dismiss, retrench, retire you except you and you alone and not someone else. It is the DISCOVERY of the WORK and the IN-BUILT work IN you, that makes the difference to make you do things and life differently; and that enables you to be creative, innovative and initiative, in exploring better ways of prospering the work to prosper you in life and grace without stress and anxiety, murmuring and complaining. By knowing and understanding what your work is all about, then you know your WORTH and how you tend toward an onward and upward trajectory to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, because it’s within you. THINK ABOUT IT!

“WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT; for there is NO ACTIVITY or PLANNING or KNOWLEDGE or WISDOM in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) where you are going” Ecclesiastes 9:10/Amplified.

When you know you work, the wisdom to prosper the work to prosper you, comes naturally. And the act of faithfulness, diligence, prudence, responsibility and accountability that’s built on principle become natural to you. And knowing and understanding your work and your worth in your work, will change your perspective of not blaming others wherever there is momentary challenge and setback in the work. We live in a world where people take delight to blame others in order to create their own narratives and uprising on someone else downfall. Knowing and understanding your work helps you not to be deter by the forces about, no matter the numbers.

GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION NEITHER DANCING TO THE COMMONLY ACCEPTABLE AS AN OPTION WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WORK AND WORTH.

So, if you wants to prosper, take time to do due diligence in self-discovery of your work and then ensure all it takes to prosper the work that you may prosper along. Your prosperity is in your hand and not in another. The scripture says in Joshua 1:8, it is you that will make your way PROSPEROUS with GOOD SUCCESS, indicating that they are BAD SUCCESS as it’s written:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, and then YOU WILL have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favour with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

And to do business with your work, you have to as a matter of principle to be DILIGENT. And DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking, but about being smart, steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. The otherwise is to be slacked of the work to attract failings and failures instead of prosperity and good success as written:

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND – your WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOUGH, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE. And to ensure that you till the work – you cultivate by ploughing on the work and planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion) and other necessary material to NURTURE that endeavour until there’s a product – effect or result.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE all the necessary possibilities in the work set plan, purpose and pursuit. And DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that FAVOUR my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be MAGNIFIED, which hath PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27 (Galatians 5:13).

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST THE TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER MAN’S, who shall GIVE you that WHICH IS YOUR OWN?” Luke 16:10-12.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN persons shall have POVERTY ENOUGH. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of PERSONS is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and CONSIDERETH not that POVERTY shall come UPON him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“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.

“The SLUGGARD will not PLOW by reason of the COLD; therefore shall he BEG in harvest, and have NOTHING” Proverbs 20:4.

“I went by the FIELD of the SLOTHFUL, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 and, lo, it was ALL GROWN OVER WITH THORNS, and NETTLES had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a LITTLE SLUMBER, a LITTLE FOLDING OF THE HANDS TO SLEEP: 34 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that travelleth; and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 24:30-34.

“GO TO THE ANT, THOU SLUGGARD; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 provideth her meat in the summer, and GATHERETH her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little SLEEP, a little SLUMBER, a little FOLDING of the hands to sleep: 11 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that TRAVELLETH, and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 6:6-11.

MAKE DILIGENCE PRACTICE A DEFAULT

January 28, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MAKE DILIGENCE PRACTICE A DEFAULT: IT’S PLEASING, REWARDING AND EMPOWERING!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking as some are driven to purportedly; but it’s to be SMARTWORKING, be steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. It’s customised to time.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND for example, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOW, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE a crop for example. That’s to say, you don’t just PLOW, but you ensure the PLOW land by planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion), to NURTURE that endeavour until there’s a product – effect or result.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE. DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

August 13, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“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).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human compression and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create, and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

I employ you therefore, to meditate on these but not limited SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS that’s WORTH PONDERING in context, on God’s enabling POWER that gives the rights to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

July 27, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

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

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in errors, being mistaken and taken up as a PREY, and becoming the VICTIM of the ENEMY, and COHORTS, because of one’s knowingly or unknowingly shade of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

“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.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing will otherwise expose you to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lion and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Minister’s of God while there are under the enclave of satan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world about you toward God’s Word to avoid walking in error. You need to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – to enable you to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s the place of honour, dignity and nobility that was found in the believers of Berea in Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“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.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT to be ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“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.

“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 8:31-32.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

February 18, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“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.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD through FAITH that overshadow one’s being in that SUCCESS. For one to be enriches with INNER peace and tranquility, one must know that it’s of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEn spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He that TILLETH his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let not your HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN of life: in thy light shall we see light” Psalms 36:9.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—MEDITATE on these things” Philippians 4:8 NKJV.

“I am convinced and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6 Amplified.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have RECEIVED in the Lord, that you may FULFILL it” Colossians 4:17/NKJV.

MONTH FEBRUARY 2024 – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE

February 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY 2024 – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you cant talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16].

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crosses my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian walk of faith in Christ Jesus.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13.

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and it’s effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22].

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effects on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE.

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

And when I began to embarks on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personified the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says, He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEMED us, He LOVED us as written:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6.

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32].

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul’s also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead.

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12].

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead. Hence I sincerely welcome you to Month February, the month of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE that GIVES and SERVES without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; Proverbs 16:7/Hebrews 11:6].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN

July 27, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in errors, being mistaken and taken up as PREY and become VICTIM to the ENEMY and COHORTS because of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness and vulnerability. Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing otherwise you exposed yourself to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lion and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Ministers of God while there are under the enclave of Satan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s very imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world to God’s word, if you must avoid ERRORS and being MISTAKEN – meaning, you need to INTENTIONALLY resolved to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead with ease and comfort. That’s the place of honour and dignity and nobility as found in the Berea Believers of the Bible days of Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“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.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT to be ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.
