REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS

September 30, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS: LET’S PRAY AS THE PSALMIST!

Be a VESSEL of USE and of CHANGE, CREATION and INNOVATION in the KINGDOM and for humanity good and goodness; and not as an ORNAMENT or IDOL. It’s as a VESSEL in USE, that we can keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay; and in turn, ADVANCE the good and goodness of others through the Kingdom causes of our God, in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s PRAY together after this PSALMIST act of PRAYER:

“O God, in mercy bless us; let your face beam with joy as you look down at us. 2 Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind. 3 How everyone throughout the earth will praise the Lord! 4 How glad the nations will be, singing for joy because you are their King and will give true justice to their people! 5 Praise God, O world! May all the peoples of the earth give thanks to you. 6-7 For the earth has yielded abundant harvests. God, even our own God, will bless us. And peoples from remotest lands will worship him” (Psalms 67 – LB).

Thanks for taking time to personalised the prayer for the good and goodness of the nation as a vessel in use and of change, innovation, creativity and such like. For you are God’s ambassador in Christ Jesus stead. Ensure it from where you are into the ends of the earth.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the WORLD for a witness unto all NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

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

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore IF ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW THEN WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 that CONFIRMETH the WORD of his SERVANT, and PERFORMETH the COUNSEL of his MESSENGERS . . .” Isaiah 44:24-28.

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was NAMED, lest I should BUILD upon another MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:21.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let no man SEEK his own, but every man another’s WELL-BEING. 25 Whatsoever is SOLD in the meat market, that EAT, asking no question for CONSCIENCE sake: 26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof” 1 Corinthians 10:24-26.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY HEART; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works. 8 Let thy garments be ALWAYS white; and let thy head LACK no ointment. 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy PORTION in this life, and in thy labour which thou TAKEST under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:7-10.

” . . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:8-12 (1-12).

“ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have GIVEN you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have GIVEN every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day”.

LET DILIGENCE BE YOUR WATCHWORD IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: IT’S ABSOLUTELY REWARDING TO DO LIFE AND LIVING GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

DILIGENCE is the conscientiousness in paying proper attention to a task; giving the degree of care required in a given situation; persevering determination to be consistently consistent to perform a task with a smart effort to achieve a desired schedule.

DILIGENCE is an ingredient to hallmark one in attaining a greater heights in one’s PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS; and also to position one in grace in order to succeed with God in life and godliness.

DILIGENT people have no room for the SLUGGARD and LUKEWARM person that waste resources for doing life – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL AND PEOPLE; that is, it helps to keep the SLOTHFUL at bay in anyway lest they become the mountain, valley, crooked and rough places in the path of one’s greatness. Therefore, SPEW them out of your way. You are your own destiny DEFINITION. BE DILIGENT TO MAKE IT BE.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

September 29, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR A NO RAIN, MEANS A NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECT in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference. It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 with respect to why we need to earnestly pray to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world’s challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – God’s precious name calls the people. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just like SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S RESOURCES

September 27, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S RESOURCES: THE FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE – THE WISE PATH IN DOING LIFE THROUGH PRUDENCE!

“A PRUDENT [FAR-SIGHTED] man FORESEETH the evil, and HIDETH himself: but the SIMPLE [NAIVE] pass on, and are PUNISHED [SUFFERED]” Proverbs 22:3.

PRUDENCE – is the managing and MANAGEMENT of God’s endowed and given resources in terms of – TALENT/SKILL, FINANCE (MONEY), TIME, MATERIAL (PHYSICAL SUPPORT) and PEOPLE – that are within reach to do the PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL diligent work in life and grace. The above is the definition God taught me in His WISDOM FOR LIVING SCHOOL. And in doing any form of business in the kingdom, I have learned and yet learning what it takes to be FULFILLED beyond SUCCESS or been SUCCESSFUL; and being PRUDENT, there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE and DILIGENT in all matters of doing life and godly living.

“The WISE in heart shall be called PRUDENT: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning” Proverbs 16:21.

Therefore, considering the context of been PRUDENT – there’s the need to be prudent in the management of God’s given resources that is/are available to you, in doing life and living godly. The faithfulness to such given resources of God, will open doors of trust to greater endowments for any – Matthew 25:14-30. You need to learn from our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who in His humanity in earthly ministerial assignment and mandate of Father God, NEVER waisted the would have been considered left overs – fragments – instead, after feeding the five thousands men beside women and children with the five loaves and two fishes, He ensured that the fragments were gathered into twelve (12) baskets for other cause or causes – Matthew 14:15-21.

“. . . 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they TOOK UP of the FRAGMENTS that remained twelve baskets full . . .” Matthew 14:15-21 [Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17].

Considering been PRUDENT in one resource – FINANCES – there’s the need to ensure and be prudently intelligent; for the essence of being prudence in finance and financial management, may not be appreciated until you hit the bottom as I have experience, when all you have worked for, or given to or inherited, disappeared before your very eyes, as found in the Prodigal son lifestyle of Luke 15:11-24; and more so, in Isaac bankruptcy because of FAMINE (AUSTERITY) breakout as experienced in the Holy writ of Genesis 25 and 26 respectively.

My mentor and father in the Lord of blessed memory once said in a marriage seminar to the the marriage men audience in attendance of then, with this wisdom nuggets for marital living:

“DON’T BORROW MONEY FROM YOUR WIFE’S” simply because in the wife’s context world – in the paying back, “IT’S AN INTEREST-ONLY BUSINESS – AND PAYING BACK NEVER ENDS” while the marriage last.

I promise you, you will pay INTEREST-ONLY for all your life and the loan will never be acknowledged as paid. That’s the lesson I learnt not early enough. It took me years to put together what that statements means. What I have which I considered to have been mine in a way, is called OURS; but what children and wife has, they say it’s THEIRS and not ours respectively. Is that not been selfish by these two groups? – this is how I have always thought prior, probably I may be wrong. Do anybody have/having such experience or its just me in my world? Help me out if you are.

I later in course of time discovered that the notepad where my wife wrote she lent me money years and years ago that I could hardly remember again, is still intact long after I’ve fully paid back within the framework of time agreed even when the purpose was still about family cause and causes. For her that money is her’s and not ours indeed. Each time I have requested she should have indicated fully paid with date on her notepad then, she said NO. When I asked why, she would say whatever I’ve paid as far as she is concern is ‘INTEREST ONLY’ because money taken from a woman is never fully paid just as my father in the Lord have told me – as he thought us in the marriage seminar from his own experiences. My wife said, that’s the only act to help me understand what PRUDENCE and being PRUDENT really means in financial matters for Believer’s in Christ Jesus – the management of God’s given resource, and the reason for you to live and do life WITHIN your own available means and resource, and not someone else. That’s what I ascribed as to – LIVE/LIVING WITHIN YOUR FAITH! – which means otherwise, as living within your means as said previously.

Honestly, l’ve been paying the bill in years now, over and over again and I am still being told it’s INTEREST-ONLY. She taught me to learn PRUDENCE as a serious matter and good ‘FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE’ in the School of life LESSONS, of not wanting to borrow for any thing that doesn’t lead to PRODUCTIVITY in terms of – innovating, creating and exploring. Her action have broaden my horizon in terms of living far ABOVE the norms as may be applicable in many ways especially – in living in a western world capitalism – where there’s an indebtedness of society’s at large. And never again to lend from interest only Business; not even in Property Mortgages, Credit Cards menace as dominant in the western world, and which many part of the world are now embracing despite the lessons learnt from the economic meltdown of 2008 and other recession that have emanated prior and out of it, till the present day and time.

However, thanks to my lovely wife and her school of interest-only lesson which my father in the Lord was right eventually. It has made me wiser today than ever before. Bless you HONEY if you are reading this note, ensure you’ve written on your notepad – fully paid and dated. If not reading this, which I hope not, to save my day. Lol.

Do anybody have such experience? Bless you too. Let me have your feedback. Thanks.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

September 26, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

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

In life, you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE built upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 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.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousness of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV.

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV.

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS

September 26, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS: YOU CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY!

PRAYERS – The gracious mantle of changing the course of human history by divinity – be a part of the train and trailblazers – for the world needs your impact – and prayers it’s an access to it by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be MADE for ALL men; 2 for KINGS, and for ALL that are in AUTHORITY; that we may lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE life in all GODLINESS and HONESTY. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

Prayer CHANGES things; it’s your time to PRAY to SAVE yourself and those you care about from BECOMING the PREY and VICTIM of the unrelenting Enemy and Cohorts. We are in a great time of great NEED, and God’s grace is readily available today as always to ANSWER our QUEST and deep hearts yearnings in this difficult and challenging times, as it’s written:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.

There’s a very strong NEED today than ever before for you to team up and create a Personal, Community and National PRAYER WALLS to end the appalling devastation on our homes, streets, communities (local, state, national), government and governance.

Do you have a set personal PRAYER WALL? Can you team with one or two or more for a PRAYER WALL chain of at least 5mins a day? I know you can if you resolved.

There is the need to have a PRAYER WALL for Personal and National Affairs with God, if you must make a remarkable eternal effect and difference in your earthly life affairs before God and Mankind. This is only possible when you can recall King Hezekiah PRAYER WALLS to reverse his life span sentence after a verdict has been divinely made upon him as in the Holy writ of Isaiah 38:1-8. Like King Hezekiah, as redeemed royal priesthood, God can tell you what will happen in your circumstances, and you can change the outcome. Too often, we look for somebody else to do it for us. It’s now your time and my time to rise to the platform and make the difference we dearly need and desired.

God will HEAL and wants to HEAL our LAND (Nations) from any forms of ills, but it’s in our prerogative to create the atmosphere to ensure His healing virtue has a free cause to be fulfilled as promised. And it’s simply for these three reasons as written in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

** When There’s No RAIN (No Productivity) to THRIVE and FULLFIL PURPOSE due to stalled or stunted or collapse or meltdown in economic growth and development.

** When The LOCUSTS (Economic recessions, Corruption and Austerity Measures) invades and rules the land (Nations) due to bad governance/government or failed personal and national economic set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

** When PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of Endemic and Epidemic Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science investments year to year to curb the various infirmities.

The scriptures of Chronicles indicates that we can turn the hand of divinity for good towards us for the heavenly outpour. Meaning if divinity was RESPONSIBLE for our pains, we CAN appeal to God and change His intent as the Scriptural context indicates; much more if He’s not, we can for sure and certainty with divinity on our side be able to thrive, accomplish and bring about the change and atmosphere we earnestly crave to have. That is, giving the heavenly permission to interfere for the good of our earthly affairs. Think about it as the Holy writ scriptures thus indicate.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attend unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

PRAYERS – THE MANTLE OF CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY. Let’s get engaged, let’s get on board, let’s do it, as the only living breath we have for our wholeness, fulness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“In those days was HEZEKIAH SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8.

“The Lord GAVE THE WORD: GREAT was the COMPANY of those that PUBLISHED it” Psalms 68:11.

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the WILL of man: but holy men of God SPAKE as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.
