May 10, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: THE UNDERSTANDING MAKES ONE TO RULE AND REIGN IN LIFE!

“The FEAR of the Lord is the BEGINNING of WISDOM: and THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 9:10.

You are REDEEMED to REIGN in LIFE in Christ Jesus and to RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION. You are either REIGNING in life in grace OVER and AGAINST all circumstances and situations or you are being OVERWHELMED by your circumstances and situations; and therein living in fears and phobia, intimidation, inferiority complexes and such like human weakness and limitations.

I challenge you in Christ Jesus, that you CAN RESOLVE to REIGN in life and RULE in DOMINION over the ENEMY and COHORTS from this day ONWARDS and UPWARDS as – a royal priesthood, a chosen generation, a holy personality/nation and a peculiar breed person; being enabled by grace to go forth and show forth the praises of Him that has delivered you and transformed and transfigured you from the kingdom of darkness into His marvellous light of glory, honour and grace.

You are ROYAL – royalties RULE and REIGN. And it’s your time and turn as ROYAL priesthood to both RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION and REIGN in LIFE in the GRACE, in every way in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And let’s do it NOW.

But 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: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but ARE NOW THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES

May 9, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are, by the GRACE, and wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus’ stead, Amen. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at these present global challenges in ECONOMICS, WAR, POLITICS and PANDEMICS – and the consequences of these happenings on individuals, families, communities, nations, and globally are having a great effect. Lots of families and nations are on ECONOMIC meltdown, with job losses and bereavement. Businesses are remodeling to suit the times; except individuals awake to innovate, create, initiate, and explore – just businesses are manoeuvring, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING the changes in times. For these businesses are making intentional efforts to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING the various ways of doing life with the changes in time, knowing it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become stable by stalling.

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have not heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.

My earnest PRAYER is that you, as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win each by the grace of God wherein they stand.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And of The Children Of Issachar, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (Irksome, Burdensome, Taskmaster-Like). 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the worlds were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which DO APPEAR . . . 11But 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 11:1-3, 6.

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, AND MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, THAT HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, and ARISE from the DEAD (Idling, noise, unpreparedness), and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are EVIL (Challenging). 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS” Ephesians 5:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (Honour, Dignity); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Obscure, Vague, Uncertain) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the HEART BELONG TO MAN, But the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord . . . 9 A MAN’S MIND PLANS HIS WAY [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1, 9 (Amplified).

SUMMARY:

This message is centred on understanding the times and staying victorious in God’s word amidst global challenges.

It emphasises the importance of faith, diligence, and pursuing one’s vision to overcome obstacles and live a godly life.

Key Points:

Understand the times: Believers need to understand the moment they’re in and stand firm in Christ Jesus’ stead (1 Chronicles 12:32, Ephesians 5:15-17).
Don’t be overwhelmed by noise: Avoid being distracted by noisy, analytical people and circumstances; instead, focus on God’s word (Proverbs 21:16, Proverbs 13:15).
Innovate and create: Businesses are adapting to changes; believers should too, by innovating, creating, and exploring new ways (Ephesians 5:15-17).

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

May 8, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!

“The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE is UNDERSTANDING and SPIRITUAL insight” Proverbs 9:10/Amplified.

I’ve yet to find a Believer in Christ who doesn’t want to actualise and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately, not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus’ stead in their day-to-day living as may be expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND by faith, as in the Holy Writ.

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

In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus is only made possible through, firstly, KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly, it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis mine.

“Grace and peace [that special SENSE OF SPIRITUAL well-being] be MULTIPLIED to you in the [true, intimate] KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:2-4/Amplified.

And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long-standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.

I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed.

Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God did for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING:

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 help 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 is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

That People who hates knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

These writs above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence, I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In Thee Shall All Nations Be Blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL ABRAHAM . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither BOND NOR FREE, there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

The essence of redemption: Redemption is not just a declaration, but a reality to be lived and experienced (Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29).
The problem of ignorance: Ignorance of God’s word and ways lead to scriptural errors, bondage, and lack of dominion (Matthew 22:29, Hosea 4:6).

The benefits of knowledge: Knowledge brings freedom, dominion, power, and understanding, while ignorance leads to bondage and limitation (John 8:32, Proverbs 1:22, 29-33).

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

May 7, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE: IT GIVES THE NEEDED ALTITUDE TO OUTSMART YOUR TEACHERS AND TEXTBOOKS [ANCIENTS]!

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

Having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus by being JUSTIFIED and with an ACCESS to Father God by faith – it’s the needed leverage to be – ABOVE ONLY. Understanding gives you the needed ALTITUDE to outsmart your TEACHERS and TEXTBOOKS in your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] WISDOM [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get UNDERSTANDING [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]” Proverbs 4:7/Amplified.

I don’t know who your TEACHER has been, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of those bulk of work to that greatness, are on the child/children shoulder in order for them to BECOME what they are PURPORTED to be in many ways too.

I remembered while getting set for my secondary, my dear father and Dad and Papa of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me instructions to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he called me. I did answer him, then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him again accordingly. He said that as I leave for the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better off than he is and those [patriarchal] before him. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED, I heard him in every decision I put up to action in the course of that teenage path of life.

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus into my life then, the only thing I know and could hear within me, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbooks or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus and prospectus, just to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not just necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad’s intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardise my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And looking back and taking a reflection, down memory lane, it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God for giving him to be my father, Dad and Papa and also as my personal instructors in many ways – and he’s forever in hearts and thoughts.

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while he’s away for staff meetings to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accordance by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel one day and stole my gifted Bible from my dear Uncle Austin [Rev A U MORMAH], as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastoring a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using the same teaching syllabus and prospectus materials as others and as requested by the school then. Neither the Teacher nor the students knew then that I have read Psalms 119:97-100 in my Bible, of what I can be if I give in to a principled living as the path to channel my life by God’s WORD.

And along with Psalmist Scripture that was an instructional awakening for me to be effectual – productive and results oriented, I do embraced also in principle, and by KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, the essence of DILIGENCE and PREPAREDNESS ahead of demand in context, of the scriptures of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31 for an onward and upward trajectory in life and grace. And ever since I knew then that by the SCRIPTURES in context, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT [written records set before time by others in books and other life format], I could take on any subjects of interest that I willingly set myself up to pursue in the grace. And to simply put it, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the quest of humanity, that’s why you like me by God, in His grace, in His word, by the Holy Spirit, can be whatever you want to be in Him. And for me, the rest today is history to God’s eternal glory and praise and honour. Amen.

I have share the above foretaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to the WORD as the WISDOM NUGGETS in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in this world under God in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the SCRIPTURES on that subjects of life – Trade, Family, Marriage, Relationship, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such like – for you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness and joy and not someone else except you give them the permission to rule and dominate over your will power in the grace. [Proverbs 4:7]. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you in order to make it TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, COMPREHENSIBLE and DELIVERABLE as desired in the LIGHT of the Scriptures. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before as you choose to ensure it in principle in the grace wherein, we stand by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. [Romans 5:1-2].

“The PLANS and PREPARATION of the mind and ORDERLY THINKING belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart). 3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your PLANS be established and succeed . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure” Proverbs 16:1-3, 9/AMP

SUMMARY:

The message shares a personal testimony of how the writer applied Biblical principles to excel in life, outsmarting teachers, textbooks, and even their own patriarchal lineage. Growing up, his father encouraged him to surpass him, instilling a sense of responsibility and accountability. The writer embraced this challenge, leveraging God’s Word (especially Psalms 119:97-100, Proverbs 4:7, Romans 5:1-2) to guide his path.

Key takeaways:

Understanding God’s Word gives wisdom and altitude to outsmart teachers and mentors.

Diligence and preparedness are crucial for success (Proverbs 22:29, 21:31).

One’s faith in Christ and principled living can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.

The writer’s experience shows applying scripture can lead to being “above only” in various areas of life.

The message encourages readers to get understanding in God’s Word for guidance in life’s areas like trade, family, marriage, business, and leadership.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION

May 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.

That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observe people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning, God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:

SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.

This is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).

“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.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

Further Scriptural Reading Text: 2 Peter 3:1-9.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding the Scriptures, highlighting that ignorance of God’s Word can lead to deception and error. Jesus’ response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:29 serves as a warning: “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God”.

Key Points:

The Dangers of Ignorance: Ignorance of the Scriptures and God’s power can lead to deception and error (Matthew 22:29, Romans 1:18-32).

The Importance of Obedience: God wants us to be doers of His Word, not just hearers (James 1:22-25).

The Consequences of Rationalism: Rationalism can lead to self-deception, ignorance of spiritual truths, and disbelief in divine intervention (Romans 1:18-32, Acts 13:27, 2 Peter 3:1-9).

Scriptural References:

Matthew 22:29 – Jesus’ warning about ignorance of Scriptures and God’s power

James 1:22-25 – The importance of being doers of God’s Word

Romans 1:18-32 – The consequences of ignoring God’s truth

Acts 13:27 – Ignorance of God’s plan led to Jesus’ rejection

2 Peter 3:1-9 – God’s patience and desire for all to come to repentance

The message encourages believers to prioritise knowing and understanding God’s Word, recognising the dangers of ignorance and rationalism. By being doers of God’s Word, we can avoid deception and live a life that honours Him.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

May 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION!

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

The principle of good success, excellence, and genuine prosperity is built on a process. That’s why whatever happens without a process is a fraud, for even in our redemption, our God, ensures it all works out in a process to and in Christ Jesus, and not by magical appearance. For genuine miracle is a consequence of God’s WORD that’s scripturally activated in a process within the context. Hence, I have always said, and will always say, ‘until you UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE fool’. For wisdom to succeed, prosper and excel in life is the application of knowledge. And the act of application requires an understanding of the process of the matter in context. So, there’s the need for the understanding to accompany any knowledgeable context, in order for the needed wisdom that attracts divine favours to be in operations.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient] is HARD [Difficult Challenging, Rough]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.

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

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine.

In the context of discussion, it thus means that:

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.

Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem for yourself and to others probably one day.

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.

Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch.

More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVED with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen.

I know why the difference, the scriptures have an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient) is HARD (Difficult Challenging, Rough)” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of UNDERSTANDING in profiting in God’s grace and achieving success in life.

Key Points:

WISDOM is principal, but understanding is crucial for applying knowledge and achieving success (Proverbs 4:7).

Without understanding, knowledge and passion can lead to failure and difficulties (Proverbs 13:15).

Understanding helps you navigate life, relationships, career, and ministry effectively (Proverbs 21:16).

Lack of understanding leads to:

Reacting instead of responding

Making excuses and blaming others

Lack of responsibility and accountability

Living without purpose

UNDERSTANDING brings favour, wisdom, and purpose in God’s grace.

Scriptural Focus:

Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding

Proverbs 13:15 – Good understanding gives favor

Proverbs 21:16 – Wander out of understanding’s way = unproductive

The message urges believers to seek understanding in all aspects of life to achieve genuine success, excel in God’s grace, and live purposefully.

HAVING AN “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”

May 2, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING AN “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”: WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him, can be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading – Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21). It thus means if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE are all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME, in God, in Christ Jesus (Proverbs 21:15; Proverbs 13:15). So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the GRACE of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any act and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.

“And of the CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

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

There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and the ignorant. For its UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT SCRIPTURALLY!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, and Christ shall GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS” Ephesians 5:14-17.

“And of the children of Issachar, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT to do; the HEADS of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: AND WITH ALL THY GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

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

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to GIVE THANKS FOR YOU, MAKING MENTION OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY GIVE UNTO YOU the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 FAR ABOVE ALL principality, and power, and might, and dominion, AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED, NOT ONLY IN THIS WORLD, BUT ALSO IN THAT WHICH IS TO COME: 22 and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head OVER ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH, 23 which is his body, the FULNESS of him that filleth all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23.

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21.

Personified Prayer Scriptures: Ephesians 1:15-23; Colossians 1:9-20.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE of God, wherein we stand in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1-2).

Key Points:

GACE enables us to stand and become what we want to be in Christ, but it can be frustrated or misused without understanding (Galatians 2:20-21, 1 Corinthians 15:10).

Passion and knowledge aren’t enough; understanding is crucial for success in our walk and work of faith (Proverbs 21:15, 13:15).

Understanding helps us make wise decisions, redeem time, and know God’s will (Ephesians 5:14-17, 1 Chronicles 12:32).

We must crave understanding in God’s grace to fulfill His intent in our redemption (Proverbs 4:7, Ephesians 1:17-18).

Scriptural Focus:

Romans 5:1-2 – Justified by faith, access to God’s grace

1 Chronicles 12:32 – Men of Issachar had understanding of the times

Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding

Ephesians 5:14-17 – Walk wisely, understanding God’s will

The message urges believers to seek understanding in God’s grace to maximise their faith, avoid mistakes, and fulfill God’s purpose

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING

April 15, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING – [WISDOM] – IN YOUR PASSION: THAT’S THE PATH TO GRACIOUSNESS AND GRACEFULNESS!

“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” Romans 10:1-4.

To have ZEAL, being zealous, otherwise called PASSION is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – it’s full of foolishness, frustration and equally erroneous too [Romans 10:1-4]. A mere zealous or zealousness or just being passionate can create mistaken atmosphere due to pure ignorance especially in context of matters except there’s knowledge in the passion of which Jesus rebuked the Sadducees of their erroneous and mistaken acts to the context of resurrection as an example.

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [DO ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:29 [23-33].

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance, pride and rudeness. The place of knowledge cannot be taken lightly in every phase of doing life and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Knowledge emancipates and delivers from all forms of stupidity, ignorance, and foolishness.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

But 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. Proverbs 4:5-7.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Get WISDOM, get UNDERSTANDING: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:5-7.

“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” Romans 10:1-4.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.

“Good UNDERSTANDING wins FAVOR, but the WAY of the TRANSGRESSOR is hard [like the BARREN, DRY soil or the IMPASSABLE swamp]” Proverbs 13:15/AMP Classic Edition.

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

“A man who WANDERS from the WAY of UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) will REMAIN in the ASSEMBLY of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

Further Scriptural Reading: Proverbs 16:16; 4:5; James 1:5.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of combining zeal (passion) with knowledge and understanding to achieve wisdom, which is the principal thing. Having zeal without knowledge is dangerous and can lead to foolishness, frustration, and error, as seen in the example of the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-33, Romans 10:1-4).

Key points:

Zeal and passion are good, but without knowledge, they’re incomplete and potentially destructive.

Knowledge without understanding breeds arrogance and pride (1 Corinthians 8:1).

When zeal, knowledge, and understanding come together, wisdom is the result, leading to a fulfilling life (Proverbs 4:5-7).

Wisdom is the principal thing to seek and acquire (Proverbs 4:7).

Good understanding gives favour and leads to a productive life (Proverbs 13:15).

Scriptural references support the importance of seeking wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to live a godly life. The message encourages readers to earnestly desire wisdom in their passion and pursuits.

Supporting scriptures:

Proverbs 4:5-7 (get wisdom, get understanding)

Romans 10:1-4 (zeal without knowledge is incomplete)

Matthew 22:29 (Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for lacking knowledge)

1 Corinthians 8:1 (knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies)

Proverbs 13:15 (good understanding gives favour)

The message concludes that wisdom is key to a fulfilling life, and readers are encouraged to seek it in their passions and pursuits

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS

April 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS!

Beloved of God, it’s imperative that in your redemption deed of rights, you ensure you possess your possession, living godly in Christ Jesus stead. This happens when your faith communicates effectively to life’s matters – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine..

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it to make it a reality for you.

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible:

FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him;

And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

Until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE REDEMPTION’s essence in you, your FAITH COMMUNICATION to life matters will struggle, feel strange, tasking, and burdensome – contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJA’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians, despite their efforts in Church, fasting, prayers, traditions. But this OUGHT not to be so in Christ, REDEMPTION’s essence should impact EVERY AREA of life.

You APPROPRIATE and ENACT through PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of what God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD via the HOLY SPIRIT.

Here are REASONS to seek KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

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 you 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 is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

If your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

When you add a little MORE knowledge to your daily life, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis mine).

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

“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.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of understanding and appropriating one’s redemption in Christ Jesus. It encourages believers to move beyond mere confession and tradition, and instead, grasp the reality of their redemption through personal knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.

Key points include:

Believers have a Deed of Rights in Redemption but must ensure they possess their possession in Christ.

Effective faith communication is key to enacting redemption’s essence in life.

Ignorance of God’s Word and promises can lead to a burdensome Christian life, while knowledge and understanding bring freedom and dominion.

Reasons to seek knowledge and understanding include:

Freedom from scriptural errors and life’s challenges (Matthew 22:29)

Dominion in life (Daniel 11:32)

Power, freedom, and dominion (John 8:32, Luke 11:52)

Goodness and mercy (Proverbs 1:22, 29-33)

Heaven’s favor (Proverbs 13:15, Hosea 4:6, Isaiah 5:13-15)

Updated thoughts and a better life (Proverbs 24:5, Proverbs 4:18)

The message encourages believers to prioritise knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, acknowledging their redemption rights, and communicating faith effectively to experience the reality of redemption in every area of life.

Scriptural references support the importance of knowledge, faith, and understanding in experiencing redemption essence.

ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS IN YOUR REDEMPTION BILL OF RIGHTS

April 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS IN YOUR REDEMPTION BILL OF RIGHTS: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION!

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah lifestyle over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus. But it’s your prerogative to ask, seek, and knock after it to make it a reality for you.

You need to know your REDEMPTION reality is made possible FIRSTLY through ACKNOWLEDGING your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM – a DONE DEED by Christ Jesus for you; and SECONDLY by UNDERSTANDING HOW to COMMUNICATE your FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

And until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you, the COMMUNICATING your FAITH in Christ to life matters will be a struggle, strange, tasking, and burdensome – contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘Amen’, ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bless me’ Christians despite their efforts in the Church, fasting, prayers and religious practices to make REDEMPTION’s essence real in EVERY AREAS of life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU, and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.

Here are reasons to seek knowledge and understanding of all God DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, to appropriate your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

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 you from life and scriptural errors, and helps you engage 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 is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

That People who hates knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

That whatever you have no value for, you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding your redemption rights in Christ Jesus. It encourages believers to move beyond a “complain-hallelujah lifestyle” and instead, take possession of their possessions in redemption by acknowledging and communicating their faith effectively.

Key points include:

Your name is engraved in the Bill of Rights in Redemption, but you must ask, seek, and knock to make it a reality.

Redemption is made possible by acknowledging your rights and privileges in the Kingdom (a done deed by Christ) and understanding how to communicate your faith in life matters.

Without this understanding, communicating faith can be a struggle, tasking, and burdensome, contrary to 1 John 5:3.

Personal knowledge and understanding of redemption are crucial to appropriating and enacting it in your life.

The message lists reasons to seek knowledge and understanding of God’s done deed in Christ, including freedom, dominion, power, and effectiveness in life.

Scriptural references support the importance of knowledge, understanding, and communicating faith for a victorious Christian life.

The message urges believers to value knowledge, grow in understanding, and apply redemption principles to possess their possessions and live a purposeful life in Christ.
