WISDOM NUGGETS: In The GRACE To STAND And BECOME

May 6, 2020 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS: In The GRACE To STAND And BECOME: The Essence For – ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING!

It’s high time to desire the PRINCIPAL thing. That is, to seek for WISDOM in ones PASSION, and the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in it, to do LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

Herein for your perusal to think and ponder upon are takes on – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING:

PASSION/ZEAL:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise passion is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – full of foolishness and frustration. Hence 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 somethings 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 as written for our knowing:

“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:

***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 endeavours 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. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitations, there’s the need to add understanding to one’s knowledge even as it’s written:

“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 any thing, 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:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together, therein is the WISDOM to do life and much more, the WISDOM to be accomplished and fulfilled in life, will always show up.

For 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 LIFE and GODLINESS. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

And this kingdom business has been made all possible by the abundant supply of God’s enabling grace that was bestowed and given to me to carry on in this kingdom mandate and assignment. I am grateful for the constructive suggestions and other useful contributions that have kept the Kingdom mandate steady, constant and consistent over the years. I’m most grateful to God for His bestowed grace and sustenance; and the great insight and foresight that He made available through the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the blessed Holy Spirit which I have received over the years.

For those who have sown seeds into this ministerial work – I would like to say, “Thank You”. I pray that you will know and understand this word of King David as in: 1 Samuel 30:24 “. . . but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike”. Your generosity means that we are able to share the blessings that accompany this work. I pray that God keep inspiring, revealing and empowering you all, and to quench your thirst and feed your hungry being with His truth and righteousness through this sound, undiluted, and unadulterated ‘AFD Monthly TEACHING Publication.

The Lord cares about you and wants to mature, establish, strengthen and settle you for all your losses. You are here, right now in the year 2020 in spite of all.

1 Peter 5:7-11 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a -while, make you perfect, 3 stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Finally, my heart is inditing a greener 2020 with the spirit of Living the Greater Life. Through this edition, come with me to Bethel for an encounter by the WORD & PRAYER in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s a time to seek the Lord, wait on Him until we hear of and from Him and take on the year with a stronger spirit as we read in the Psalms:

Psalms 45:1-7 “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows”.

Job 17:9 ”The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger”.

I am excited about God’s intentions as we finish the year stronger which is rejuvenating my heart with inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is being made available by the Holy Spirit into a stronger 2020 which we have themed: YEAR 2020 YEAR OF EXALTATION – LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE (EXALT2020).

A YEAR OF EXALTATION: LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE (EXALT2020)

The EXALTED LIFE is about LIVING and THRIVING in DOMINION and EXALTATION. It is made possible through THRIVING in the consciousness of God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. And the following is an insight and foresight highlight to this EXALTED LIFE realm:

** EXALT2020 will be a great year to stimulate faith, inspire godly living. It means that we are inspired to aspire in God’s image and will not expire or be burnt out – (Romans 6:14/Genesis 1:26-30).

** EXALT2020 will be a year crowned with God’s goodness and abundance as we believe, belong and become by the Word and prayer in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s our year of thriving with colourful living. You don’t need to fake till you become, just by being a doer of the Word, in prayer and in being led by the Spirit in every aspects of doing life, you become whom and what you believe – (Psalms 65:1113/Psalms 92:11-15/Genesis 26:1-6, 12-14).

** EXALT2020 is a year of living the greater life because greater is He that’s in you than the he that’s in the World – (1 John 4:4/John 14:15-17, 26).

** EXALT2020 is a year of living for a cause, that is, a purposeful life and not a wishy-washy, aimless and clueless and causeless life style – (1 John 3:8/John 18:37).

** EXALT2020 is a year of living for fulfilment and not an unending goals of achieving results without satisfaction and fulfilment – (Colossians 4:17).

** EXALT2020 is a year to maximise every opportunity within the God given time in order to earn fulfilling results. That includes understanding the time frame of grace and the wisdom to do life accordingly. (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12/1 Chronicles 12:32/ Ecclesiastes 8:5/Psalms 90:12).

** EXALT2020 is a year to maximise our God given resources which are – Time, Effort (Strength/Talent) And Finance (Monetary – cash/kind) – with possible attitudes for our altitude and aptitude – (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Haggai 2:8; Mark 12:30; Genesis 8:22; Proverbs 24:10).

PROPHETIC DECLARATION:

Philosophical opinions on economy, politics, climatic conditions and predictions are plastered all over the internet, TV channels and radio stations about the Decade/Year 2020. Some of the analyses are negative, while some with both negative and positive connotations, inconclusive or undecided conclusions and an undefined sense of understanding on what the future holds. Hence many making contingency plans to handle the unprecedented matters that may arise in 2020 as a response to strategic governance.

At this time of the year, different people choose different mediums to influence their decisions and resolutions for the coming year. Be it governments, spiritual leaders, family members and such likes. In all these, what it important to me for the believers is that the Scriptures encourage us as God’s people to attend to God’s word and to incline our ears to His sayings, because they are life and health, that is medicine – to our destiny, sustenance and ways of doing life as written in the scriptures of:

Proverbs 4:20-22; 5 “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (medicine) to all their flesh” (Emphasis mine).

Beloved, it’s time to hear for yourself, that is, – attend, keep and incline – your ear to the Word of the Lord. There may be ‘facts’ to prove how our circumstances will turn out in 2020, but the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE with the spirit of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world. The following scripture is God’s indicator of the light, to give you the leverage to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in EXALT2020.

Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”.

Psalm 36:9 “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light”

Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”

Isaiah 60:19-20 “The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended”

2 Peter 1:19 “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”.

For each day in the new year the Lord has intended for you to arise, shine, celebrate and be glad in it according to Proverbs 4:18; Isaiah 60:19-20; 2 Peter 1:19. So, enter the new year with gladness no matter how dark it may seem; or how much the enemy of our faith wants to remind you of the years past; simply because this is your year of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. As the word of the Lord came to me saying in this wise statement:

“Say to my people, as they incline their ears to hear my sayings and attend to my Words, I will guide and guard them to their promised blessing through and through; and as by the Spirit of promise, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation, deliverance, favour and peace through the Word and prayer over poverty, sickness and spiritual death; such that they can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life. I have brought my people to the place of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE as they are called by my name and I am in their midst standing in righteousness. Let them know that as every star above in the sky shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. Foreknowing that the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign and rule, LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. Then my people can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in my sovereignty and in the midst of darkness; for the daystar is come to dwell in our hearts and to cause us to shine and glory in all that pertains to doing life and godliness. Therefore, let my people ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of the daystar who is the sure Word and through prayers and the leading of the Holy Spirit, to lighten them up as a star and reign and rule, LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. For I the Lord am the fountain of life and in my light you will find life and the true light that will guide you to your destiny and places of rest”

Beloved, your response by the word of faith to the negatives and facts you see and hear determines how much of God’s word you will walk in; and how the Lord can crown 2020 for you as you LIVE THE EXALTED LIFE for your goodness and abundance; and as you serve Him in spirit and in truth through His leading. Triumph, dominion and victory are available to you as you incline your ear to the saying of the Lord for Decade 2020S and Year 2020.

This is the year of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE, a year to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life with amazing opportunities, possibilities and surprises as an achiever, while serving the Lord and enjoying His goodness and abundance – “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL READING FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

Psalms 65:11-13 “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing“.

2 Samuel 22:29-31 “For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him”

1 John 4:4 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”.

2 Peter 1:19-21 “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“

However, this DECADE 2020S, Year 2020 and January 2020 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

BELIEVE Before You ACT

March 23, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD ACCORDINGLY!

You need to build your life on the WORD of God to enhance your quality of life by God rather than the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities that makes you ACT on Presumption, or ACT in a Make-Believe, or ACT on Sentiments, or ACT on Suspicion and such likes, otherwise it’s a mere RELIGION. And God is about LIFE and GRACE and not religion. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith, life in the grace of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL or on Men’s APPLAUDS or SELF ASSERTIONS. For FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God to TRIUMPH and OVERCOME in your WORLDS of LIFE and GRACE Challenges or have a make-believe to suit your being.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD firstly. I wants you to know full well that BELIEVE is not FAITH. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL, as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS in your LIFE and GRACE journeys have not worked out as duly expected.

Life with God is not by power and might but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly right to RECEIVE from Him.

SCRIPTURES WORTH PONDERING FOR NOW:

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:22.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART MAN BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Mark 10:9-10.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 11:1-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 10:8-10, 17; Galatians 3:11; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Romans 14:23.

SELAH – To PAUSE And THINK: To SOAR In DOMINION

SELAH – To PAUSE And THINK: To SOAR In DOMINION – The Place Of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING!

***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.

***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 life and godliness. 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).

Abiding In God’s Presence

November 8, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE NEED FOR KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORD

August 8, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

There’s the need for knowledge and continuous knowledge in life. More importantly, there’s the need for the truth that emancipates, delivers and sets free with genuine freedom, which is as result of the knowledge in the WORD of God. Hence I do hereby offer you firstly, four things to know at least and remember in your keen for the knowledge, especially the knowledge in the WORD of God; for these will unveil the needed insights and foresights why crave for knowledge . . .

ALWAYS KNOW AND REMEMBER:

That other Books may inform you, but the WORD of God – The Holy Bible – is the only authoritative, unadulterated and undiluted timeless book that is both informative and transformative for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
That the Bible, the Holy WORD of God, is the only living written book, and the only book that the author is always present while you read it, giving you precise understanding of every facets written therein.
That it is not enough to KNOW the WORD. In order to be able to rightly apply the WORD you must endeavour and strive to UNDERSTAND what you know of the WORD. This will enable you to THRIVE and ACHIEVE in life, and to live in TRIUMPH, in VICTORY, in SUCCESS, in DOMINION, in FULFILMENT and as A MORE THAN A CONQUERORS.
That The Bible can only cease to be a MYSTERY book and becomes a MESSAGE: Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal, when one finds the key that unlocks the mystery through READING. For God is only a MYSTERY when His PERSON and WAYS are not known – Psalms 103:7.
That The Bible, which is the WORD of God, is not a book that we conjure or conjure with, but it is a practical book of wisdom, life and grace which we practice in God’s BLERSSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

A man’s ignorance is his own mountain and only by the knowledge and understanding of the truth will he be delivered and have true and genuine freedom. I do know and believe that the BIBLE – Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal – is the only place of true and genuine information and knowledge for complete information, deliverance, transformation and freedom. The Bible may be seen as mysterious, but is not a mystical book, but a practical book of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. It’s not a truth that you conjure, but the truth that you practice. The Holy Bible is life and a life-giving and transfiguring book.

Through reading the WORD you can appropriate personal knowledge and understanding of your redemption in Christ of all that God has done in you, for you and with you, and He’s doing and will do through you. Here are few reasons to crave and seek for knowledge of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus, in order to appropriate your redemption into reality:

That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
That knowledge will deliver one from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.
That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.
That the grace that determines our status in life is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

AFD AUGUST 2017 THEME

August 1, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GREETINGS:

Shalom & Kingdom Greetings! By the grace of Father God in Christ Jesus, my wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of the eight Month – AUGUST in the LORD’S year 2017 as He crown your life with the Year2017 themed – POSSIBIBLITIES. For this cause we’ve set out in grace to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the awesome and covenant, gracious and graceful, precious name of our redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We do also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter Publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As Month AUGUST is the eight Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it’s considered as our month of exercising the spirit of taking charge and control, dominion, innocence, guiltless, sinless consciousness as once entrusted to Adam after God rested on the seventh day, though he failed God in Eden of Genesis. The number EIGHT speaks as NEW BEGINING day or NEW day of BEGINING to exercise the rights and privileges entrusted to man to be God’s ambassador, embassy and representative on Earth; therefore, in the light with the Father God mandate in our REDEMPTION and by the reason of what our REDEEMER, Saviour and Lord Christ has done for us in REDEMPTION, this Month AUGUST 2017 EDITION of the AFD is themed: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! A month of “The PATH To A DIGNIFIED Life”.

To August is to be – graciously dignified, profoundly honoured, befitting status of Lord and Lordship, eminence, majestic and venerable. Therefore, to “August in the RIGHTEOUSNESS” of God which is of Christ, puts one in a unique pedestal of God’s eternal plans, purposes and pursuits. Upon this I welcome you to the PATH to August your life in – RIGHTEOUSNESS!

By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings through this publication edition, that the enabling grace of our God will be made available unto you and minister wholly to your well being – spirit, soul and body – in Jesus precious Name, Amen; even as it’s written in – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13 and Colossians 2:9-10.

A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, more so, when God’s intent for your life is to be whole, complete and full in all that pertains to life and godliness, for which Christ came to pay the ransom for our WHOLESOME REDEMPTION. The knowing and understanding of this God’s concept of grace for us is our RIGHTEOUSNESS in Him by Christ Jesus, which enable and make us to ride steadily and readily to enact our God given plans, purposes and pursuits to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness no matter where and when and how. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible and dignified, and the knowing and understanding that the greater one lives in you.
I pray you Blessed! Be empowered to succeed, triumph and be victorious and in dominion as you adhered to ensure the holy writ purpose of God about you and I, as in this month AUGUST theme – AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! “The PATH To Live A DIGNIFIED Life” while awaiting His return. Amen!

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.

Acts 20:32 “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“.

FUTHER SCRIPTURAL READING TO THIS MONTH THEME:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33

“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 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. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)” Romans 10:1-6.

“It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness” Proverbs 16:12.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the …seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . ⁹But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light“ 1 Peter 2:5, 9.

“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:18.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . .21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

“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

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people“ Proverbs 14:34.

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Psalms 37:23-25.

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. ¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power“ Colossians 2:9-10.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; ²that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; ³in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words . . . And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:1-4, 10.

“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 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 ever…y one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:1-13.

However, this Month AUGUST 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

AFD JUNE 2017 THEME

June 1, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GREETINGS:

Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious and awesome name of our gracious, graceful and redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of this New month JUNE 2017 in the LORD’S Year 2017 as He crown your life and year with POSSIBIBLITIES. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As the sixth Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it could be considered as our month of REFLECTION, wherein SIX speaks as the day man was created and the number of days man was discharged to work in a week of seven days. By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, by reflection and stock taking in order to OCCUPY TILL I COME – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded, which is Christ Jesus mandate to us ALL; and as a results of God’s first mandate to man in human creation, that the enabling grace of our God will be minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen (1 Thessalonians 5:23/Hebrews 4:12-13); and even as it’s written in the Scriptures of Genesis 1:26-28 – “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth“.

Therefore, in the line with the creation mandate above, and now our REDEEMER Christ mandate, this Month JUNE of the AFD is themed: The month of OCCUPY TILL I COME! A month of “Being Earthy Useful While Heavenly Minded”.

Acts 20:32 “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“.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

Luke 19:11-27 “And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. ¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. ¹³And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. ¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. ¹⁵And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. ¹⁶Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. ¹⁷And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. ¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. ¹⁹And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. ²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: ²¹for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. ²²And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: ²³wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? ²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. ²⁵(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) ²⁶For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. ²⁷But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me“.

Psalms 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein“

Psalms 8:4-8 “what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? ⁵For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. ⁶Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: ⁷all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; ⁸the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas“.

Isaiah 45:11-13 “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. ¹²I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. ¹³I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts“.

Psalms 115:16-18 “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. ¹⁷The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. ¹⁸But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord“.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. ¹⁸And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him“.

However, this Month JUNE 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

Until then, have a crown year 2017 of POSSIBILITIES “A year to “Thrive & Live With Purpose & Fulfilment”.
