Actualising Your Redemption

Actualising Your Redemption: Through Enhanced Fellowship (Communion – Common Union)

To have and being in a relationship is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be to or of God in Christ Jesus, family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such likes. You will notice that though you are in a relationship with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of relationship with all. It thus means, that it’s not enough to have or be in a relationship until one can actualised it, that is, being able to enact and appropriate into reality what makes it functional for you to truly enjoy it.

In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our living life, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.

Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our redemption. FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace.

This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all Christ had PAID for you to BE in Him unto God.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“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.

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24.

APRIL 2018: POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION IN REDEMPTION

April 4, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

APRIL 2018: POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION IN REDEMPTION – By Your FAITH Communication!

Actualising your REDEMPTION reality, can only be made possible through knowledge; and with the understanding of your Faith communication to life and godliness in living life matters, as it’s written:

“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 6 (Emphasis mine).
And until you can actualise the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in and for you, the communication of your FAITH in Christ will always be a struggle, strange and a burden. Hence there are many ‘Amen’, ‘Halleluia’ and ‘Bless me’ Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him.

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, supposedly.

Here are few reasons to seek for knowledge of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus, in order 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 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.

• 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.

BLESSED REDEMPTION: The PASSOVER

April 1, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION: The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL of REDEMPTION!

The is the very simple reason to celebrate and commemorate the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension and enthronement of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done as an act of faith and faithfulness towards God for the deliverance of Israelites (Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36), to MARK and ENACT the people of God’s deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised blessing.

PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).

That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20

BLESSED PASSOVER

March 31, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BLESSED PASSOVER: IT’S NOT AN EASTER – IT’S YOUR PASSOVER!

Therefore, it’s your audacity in Celebrating & Commemorating “The Crucifixion, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension & Enthronement” of our King, Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. And as it’s written:

Acts 12:1-4 “Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of UNLEAVENED bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after EASTER to bring him forth to the people”.

Luke 22:1-20 “Now the feast of UNLEAVENED bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people . . . Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat . . . And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you”

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER

March 8, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER: Made POSSIBLE By The Holy Spirit In REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness. But one’s CHARACTER is the only sustainability in life and godliness to continuously enjoy MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For Character speaks of INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE and TRUSTWORTHY, TRUTH and such likes.

In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are essential, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these virtues:

*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

*** CHARACTER is an act of the FRUIT by the Holy Spirit, written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as it’s written:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).

WISDOM NUGGETS: WORTH PONDERING!

March 1, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS)!

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they can outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But why? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE/TITHING and OFFERING, giving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church/Churches in kind/cash or giving towards CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes them win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies them into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or REDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.

Am SORRY to say the Kingdom of God has NO short cut access or BRIBERY windows for such self consumed or consummated intent. For God can’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you sow – (Galatians 6:6-8). And it’s simply because there are more important, primary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and about LIVING the life of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in TITHE/TITHING.

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up your TITHE/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T NEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS.

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD. This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ. You then – THINK. PONDER And MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and your fulfilment TOMORROW.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 (Amplified).

BEING FREE FROM SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

February 26, 2018 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

To Being FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!

There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist hence they were mistaken, ignorant and NEVER experience the POWER of God.
“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

** And also on of Apostle Peter who consciously caution those with him in regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION.
“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort discipline] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified) 

Further Scriptural Reading: John 8:32; Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 Peter 2:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13; Acts 17:30-31.
