SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

June 22, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

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

People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

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 what’s the take on 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 changes and challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the etiquette of being a  Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch. INFORMED – knowledge and understanding – LEADERS, LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS, and are – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. WHICH ARE YOU – LEADER or RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. Pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY the known to achieve meaningfully and purposefully for one’s life fulfillment. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“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 is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“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 . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

May 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing –  called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“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.

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to 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 mean that being passionate about something’s as in – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s 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 everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. 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 limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that 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 anything, 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).

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:

***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 in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 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.

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of Passion, knowledge and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

May 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: IT DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM ERRORS – AND FROM BEING MISTAKEN!

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

That’s why you sometimes if not most times,  hear people 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 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 to be BLESSED INDEED – James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES but not limited of the state of the RATIONALISTS:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3* 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 wants 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 THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY.

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: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – ENSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

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.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

May 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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.

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.

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 to 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 – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL 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 ACHIEVE 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 has an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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).

Desire The PRINCIPAL Thing – Seek For WISDOM In Your PASSION

April 15, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Desire The PRINCIPAL Thing – Seek For WISDOM In Your PASSION: That’s The PATH To GRACIOUSNESS And GRACEFULNESS!

ZEAL – otherwise passion is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – full of foolishness and frustration. Romans 10:1-4.

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. 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.

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS

March 27, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS: TO FEED THE FLOCKS OF GOD HEALTHILY – WITH ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE!

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the TEMPLE to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

My dear Pastor’s, the time is come and it’s now, when you need to FEED the Flocks of God HEALTHILY with THE TRUTH, in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that will PROFIT them in the Kingdom; and to cause them to enjoy the grace and BLESSEDNESS of eternal life from this side of heaven – Matthew 6:10. This is to enable them to be heavenly mindful and of earthly good.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS . . .” Proverbs 27:23-27.

We need to FEED them in such a way that they can KNOW God as the only true Father God and Jesus Christ as the only way for human SALVATION – in all about their Redemption; and all these by the effectual works of the BLESSED Holy Spirit of grace. John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12.

This is not the time to FEED them with moon light storytelling if you’ve been DOING that with traditional dogmas and fables, endless genealogies, religious oblations, demonic dogmas, denominational creeds, social media myths and gimmicks and philosophy and such like. For all those will leads to more bondage, Satan and satanic cohorts,  demonic evil works and entanglement, and many more such likes, as we’ve seen, and do see and witness across the boards these days in various media platforms and supposedly called worship centers. Only the TRUTH sets free and gives the enabling promise of the word for the good of all

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

I sincerely plead with you Flocks today and right now – be warn where you go to FEED. Go for the THE TRUTH in knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus stead. Your definition in life and grace is in your FEEDING on the TRUTH, toward your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. And in this challenging time of the FAMINE of THE WORD of God, you need to ensure that in your getting, get the knowledge and understanding of the truth, that the wisdom that’s profitable to direct your life affairs are WITHIN reach. Proverbs 4:7; Ecclesiastes 10:10. Amos 8:12-13.

God’s PROMISE to you is this and you can hold Him to It; for He’s good and faithful, true and sure to His WORD.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

In This CHALLENGING Time – Only The WORD of Grace Makes The Difference – FEED God’s People Healthily, for we are in the FAMINE of the WORD of TRUTH. Amos 8:11-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and THIS LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.

“. . . 20 And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:16-21.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

“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.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

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

“If the iron be BLUNT, and he do not WHET the edge, then must he put to MORE strength: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

Further Scriptural Meditation – John 21:15-17; 2 Timothy 2:13-19; 1 Timothy 1:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12; Acts 20:16-21; 1 Timothy 4:7-8.

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – IN TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!

“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in DESPONDENT state, but it’s UNHEALTHY state – and in time as of this generation, you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state – It’s time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that will help you get the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING through counsel – so that you might thrive and live onwards and upwards again. You can find a FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you OUT OF DARKNESS of DESPONDENCY into the light of life, and that you might thrive and live again in God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.

It’s always good and healthy for me in taking or making out time – on a one to one timeline – to share life matter with my one for certain TRUSTED Sister, friend and confident person at relax and leisure moment. You can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it last. Life is good with God and for you in having one good Friend, Pastor and or Counselor that you can trust without shame, fear, sentiments and can be honest to even in a fault. There may have been many disappointed friend, pastor and or counselor to TRUST, but I know you can still be able to find one TRUSTED friend as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too in expecting same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOSTER you no matter how bad it seems, if you make an effort than staying or being DESPONDENT about life generally.

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s, to FEED us without prejudice and sentiments, but with the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding, to enable us do life in grace effectually and efficiently, so endeavor to get a trusted FRIEND- PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that you can be HONEST to, even to a fault and feel safe in every way in LIFE and GRACE. It’s rare, but ARE there. You mustn’t stand or sit STATIC in life. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position.

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunity and endowment that are out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend and or Pastor and or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault.

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance except you refused yourself God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake or failure or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so do in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

March 7, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the  use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc ).

** STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOR (Dignity) – In place of dishonor, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“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 . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

March 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER A PURPOSEFUL DEMAND – WITH POWER AND GRACE TO FUNCTION AND BECOME – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“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 . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE -ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channeled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavor to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when Intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!
