THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: DEPICTS AS LOVING (LOVELY), GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“For no one can lay a FOUNDATION other than the one which is [ALREADY] laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11 Amplified.

“Husbands, LOVE your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH and GAVE Himself up for her, 26 so that He might SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, having cleansed her by the washing of water with THE WORD [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present THE CHURCH to Himself in GLORIOUS splendor, WITHOUT spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be HOLY [set apart for God] and blameless” Ephesians 5:25-27 Amplified.

The Church of God, depicted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead in comparison to any force and power known or yet to be known, in any human history (past, present and future), is superior and unparalleled as His commandant rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, beneath the earth and also on the earth – at any time and any day and any where at the same time. For God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient and unlimited by geography and territories as He has apportioned it in the world. Acts 17:24-31; Ephesians 1:21-23 (15-21); Ephesians 3:20-21; Philippians 3:20-21.

The beauty to the graciousnesss and gracefulness and goodness of this unparalleled army, is that the captain of the host of the Lord’s army and accompanying Him for the unparalleled army is an indescribable and invincible angelic assisted being with such armoury that’s not of human craft for any warfare. Joshua 5:13-14; Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20. And this army is not limited by geography, people or tribe, culture, tongue, class or status, colour and such like but visible in every places of human dwellings on the planet earth.

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he LIFTED up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?” Joshua 5:13-14.

“And of the ANGELS he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS OF SALVATION?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO his commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is built on GOD’S HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS. 1 Corinthians 1:30; Romans 10:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 1:16-17.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; FOR THOU SHALT NOT FEAR: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED THE SMITH that BLOWETH THE COALS IN THE FIRE, and that bringeth forth AN INSTRUMENT FOR HIS WORK; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall prosper; and every TONGUE that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:13-17.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to LOVE one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his LOVE is PERFECTED in us . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We LOVE him, because he first LOVED us. 20 If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATETH his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he LOVE God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who LOVETH God LOVE his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21.

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself . . . 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH . . .” Ephesians 5:25-33.

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath CHOSEN him to be a SOLDIER” 2 Timothy 2:3-4.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. 11 Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our WARFARE are not CARNAL (MAN MADE), but MIGHTY through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” 1 Timothy 1:18-19.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea . . . 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1, 21.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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 5:4-5.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD of their testimony; and they LOVED not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“. . . 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. . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – The Church of God

July 13, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – The Church of God: The PERSONIFIED Church That’s Spirit-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled And Faith-Filled!

“But KNOW that the Lord hath SET APART him that is GODLY for himself: the Lord will HEAR when I CALL unto him” Psalms 4:3.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is spiritually charged – energised and synergised and SET APART uniquely as a WORD-BASED Church for the GLORY and PRAISE of God, in the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Even so, Christ Jesus in humanity INSTRUCTED that those who will be followers called DISCIPLES to be enlisted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of the Church of God in Him, must CONTINUE in His WORD as a defacto without compromise of any sort and in every respect, irrespective of anything known and unknown so that they might share in the INHERITANCE that’s for all that are SANCTIFIED – SET APART by His WORD.

“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.

“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 (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

Another gracious fundamental and foundational basis that makes the WORD-based UNPARALLELED ARMY – The Church of God so unequalled, is on the rooting and grounding as a Spirit-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled and Faith-Filled Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This aforementioned and not limited can’t be obtained anywhere else in the parralleled universe. And it’s efficacious because of the effectual and efficient working that is energised and synergised of the blessed Holy Spirit by the WORD of God into the being of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, which you ARE in Him. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHLY) abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us“ Romans 5:5, 8/Emphasis Mine.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY is located there in every place of doing life in humanity on the earth and is not limited by geography; and is multi-generational, nondenominational, multilingual, multicultural, multidimensional and such like. And you ARE that UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus, that’s born of God and is both locally and universally located, accessible and reachable with a liveable and lovable personality.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus which is THE YOU, THE LOCAL and THE UNIVERSAL body of Christ Jesus; and it’s characterised with dunamis and charisma in personality because of these but not limited essentials:

* You ARE the Spirit-Filled Church

* You ARE the Love-Filled Church

* You ARE the Hope-Filled Church

* You ARE the Faith-Filled Church

When you begin to manifest in essence who you ARE in Christ Jesus, the Spirit of the Greater one in you will begin to work through you to make the needed difference to make OTHERS come to join this uniquely set apart unparalleled army that’s invincibly and angelically assisted to do the kingdom cause of God, in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. Be the difference in someone’s life as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God for the good of others near you and by you.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), you ARE of God and you belong to Him and have [already] OVERCOME them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is IN you is GREATER than he (Satan) who is IN the world [of sinful mankind]. 5 They [who teach twisted doctrine] ARE of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. 6 We [who teach God’s word] ARE from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]” 1 John 4:4-6 Amplified.

I hereby in God’s grace do urge you to get yourself spirited in grace by being the UNPARALLELED ARMY- the Church of God that’s SPIRIT-FILLED, LOVE-FILLED, HOPE-FILLED and FAITH-FILLED in all that pertains to doing life and living godly on earth, until our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus returns.

BLESSED REGARDS IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. MARANATHA!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, [offering praise by] singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ” Ephesians 5:17-21 Amplified.

“For we [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, SET APART for His purpose and] ARE the true circumcision, who WORSHIP in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh” Philippians 3:3 Amplified.

“But a time is coming and is already here when the TRUE WORSHIPERS will WORSHIP the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. 24 God is a Spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” John 4:23-24 Amplified.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were FRAMED by THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6 (Habakkuk 2:4; Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23)

“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 5:4-5.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-2, 5.

“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your FAITH and HOPE might be in God” 1 Peter 1:17-21.

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 in HOPE of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 but hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour” Titus 1:1-3.

“Now the God of HOPE FILL YOU with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the POWER of the Holy Ghost” Romans 15:13.

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in THE MEASURE of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:11-16.

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

July 11, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH!

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE on it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it’s imperative and important in helping us in becoming that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it’s synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is depending on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO to exchange is the US Dollar. If one transacts business outside another nations acceptable legal tender say Dollars ‘$’ for USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for United Kingdom and such like, your action will warrant a fake trafficking and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. In the same scenario, there’s no single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH – for its the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs.

Hence there is the need to WALK IN FAITH and most importantly CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. The reason is because Faith is the Victory by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome in every level of life in the world EARTHLY affairs (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11).

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen (2 Corinthians 4:13, 18). God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ spiritual, vital and legal tender to all of life endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and steadily steady in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH are ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. Amen – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST” Ephesians 4:7.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3.

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified).

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“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 5:4-5.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: OUGHT NOT TO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 1:18.

“Holding the mystery of THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY holds to THE TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS toward God in Christ Jesus, knowing that Jesus is THE TRUTH and our RIGHTEOUSNESS in God. And Jesus Christ is not just TRUTH but THE TRUTH. And as THE TRUTH He gives life, the eternal life of God to all who seeks the Father God in Him – John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12; and gives light to illuminate all who sits in darkness, to brighten up their life in RIGHTEOUSNESS without perversion, distortion, counterfeit, adulteration, and delusions; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). Galatians 1:6-10; Jude 1:3-4.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY lives by a PURE conscience toward God and toward men. The intent is to always stand by THE TRUTH of THE WORD irrespective of the circumstances and context of the moment. We are to hold steadfastly the mystery of the faith toward God and toward Christ Jesus in a pure conscience. 1 Peter 5:7-11. There’s no room to hold the TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS for any reason of pleasing self or others if we must remain the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

As an UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God, you can’t teach others to live in a particular life standard that you know contradicts the truth of the SCRIPTURE by the way you make it appears to suit the sentiments of the day. Asking someone or telling others not to steal, why you do steal by whatever formula or saying it is wrong to commit adultery why you do it or saying to someone not to pray to idols, why you make money or any modane things your god instead – this then will undermine the integrity and stand of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus. These aforementioned and such like should not be found among any UNPARALLELED ARMY that needs to manifest as vessel of use by God in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

The TRUTH is THE WORD, and Jesus is THE WORD – meaning that the UNPARALLELED ARMY cannot hold the TRUTH outside the WORD, for THE TRUTH is the WORD and is Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17. Meaning, for any to hold the TRUTH in any form of unrighteousness and to then expect the righteous outcome in life and grace is not possible instead it will attract the vehement WRATH of God without signal – Hebrews 10:31. Holding THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is an indication of manipulation and control and confusion, especially in the PREACHING of the Gospel – the good news of the goodness of God in Christ Jesus – when it’s been perverted, twisted, diluted, adulterated and such like.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY that is LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT does not hold THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. It’s not doubled-tongued in any means and for any means. The UNPARALLELED ARMY is commissioned to speak THE TRUTH IN LOVE because the part of the landmark of the commission is LOVING and having a LOVELY characteristics built on the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that TRANSCENDS and SUPERCEDES all human sense knowledge as written:

“But speaking THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ” Ephesians 4:15.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to know the LOVE of Christ, which PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be filled with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

It’s very important that anyone who claims to be a part of the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God that wants to live the LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT way of doing life and living godly, must resolved not to be a peddler who does THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or in any form of UNRIGHTEOUS CAUSE in the name of God in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the wrath of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:18-32.

“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.

“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.

“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through THY TRUTH: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through THE TRUTH” John 17:16-19

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, TEACHEST thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not STEAL, dost thou STEAL? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not COMMIT adultery, dost thou COMMIT adultery? thou that ABHORREST idols, dost thou COMMIT sacrilege? 23 thou that MAKEST thy boast of the law, through BREAKING the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is BLASPHEMED among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:21-29.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once DELIVERED unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, TURNING THE GRACE of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” Galatians 1:6-10.

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL: An IDOL Is – ANYTHING – REVERED AND BELIEVED Other Than Almighty God!

Many times in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD as reference in the Acts of the Apostle with consequences Acts 12:20-23; and heaven help those who helped themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms, they have to help themselves, and God can then follow suit in their terms if He really loves and cares about them. Then I pause most times and say – Really? as I asked why such a myth in people – if it’s ignorance, foolishness and stupidity. It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE than that of God as written in 1 Samuel 15:1-35 and 1 Samuel 10:18-20. We all know how it ended for him.

I want you to know for sure and true, that God is a God of PRINCIPLE and not of SENTIMENTS nor of a METHOD. He only operate within His WORD and not by human sentiments, emotions and methodology. So, in any emotions and methodology, which are common to mere men for sentimental reasons and values, God is not there, for He will only action where His WORD is the STAND, in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, meaning God is not PLEASE to get involved with such decisions at all. Hence making the VOICE of men your tool, makes you live outside God’s principle of BLESSEDNESS and abounding LOVE for His PURPOSE. GOD ONLY CONFIRM HIS WORD AND NOTHING ELSE. You need to always THINK about that before you make any decision in LIFE and GRACE.

And to have a VOICE, some will – religiously and or politically and for any leadership positions, kill or do any form of evil, wickedness and such likes to promote and certify the CAUSES and SENTIMENTS of their adored IDOL or ICON to indicate their allegiance; also, go any length to gratify that position of dignity and honour irrespective of what the person is doing or have done. And this you find happening both WITHIN the CHURCH as in the WORLD to meet the course of that leadership and governance – unfortunately some will welcome such ADORATION in the name of a godly and good causes in terms.

These acts of giving addicted REVERED and BELIEVED to your acclaimed IDOLS or ICONS has a deadly effect especially in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING, for a Christian and the Church of God. And same like, as to the one who is RECEIVING and ALLOWING such OVATION of men to overtake the place of God. And I wish people knows about the EFFECT, that it could be deadly.

And the fact that the sovereign and almighty God is slow to act accordingly in some occasions to authenticate his jealousy against these stupidity and acts of His glory being shared or equated and taken, does not mean He’s not aware or jealous as a jealous God visiting the iniquity of such behaviour. He’s still a jealous God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and will act appropriately in his own time.

For so was Herod (King) Agrippa the first, who made himself God and took glory of God to satisfy the VOICE of the people. He paid deadly for it and none could stop God.

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrants God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere not but learn a lesson from these three wise counts below in order not to be sentimental as in these scriptural instructions:

** Between Apostle John and the Angel – Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:6-9.

** Between Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia – Acts 14:8-15.

** Between Apostle Peter and Cornelius – Acts 10:25-27.

And if this legend of Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS to please men APPLAUD but they lean solely on God’s APPROVAL as in Jesus Christ stead – Act 2:22; why are you so OBSESSED of your life position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation, applaud or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class indicates how insecure you are in what you crave for otherwise you will to be contented in the enabling grace provision of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2.

I urge you to keep away from IDOLS and let none make you one! Idols are spirits, spirits acts as gods. And gods are demonic. The end is deadly now or later. REPENT!

“Now Herod [Agrippa I] was EXTREMELY ANGRY with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and their delegates came to him in a united group, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain [to support their cause], they asked for peace, because their country was fed by [imports of grain and other goods from] the king’s country. 21 On an appointed day Herod DRESSED HIMSELF IN HIS ROYAL ROBES, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people. 22 The assembled people kept shouting, “IT IS THE VOICE OF A GOD AND NOT OF A MAN!” 23 And at once an ANGEL of the Lord STRUCK him down because he did not GIVE God the glory [and instead PERMITTED himself to be worshiped], and he was eaten by worms and died [five days later]” Acts 12:20-23 (Amplified).

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

July 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!

“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.

Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.

And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.

And a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.

I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.

PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.

COMMUNICATE YOUR FAITH: TO ENSURE YOUR DAILY COMPLETENESS IN CHRIST JESUS!

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

We ARE COMPLETE, we ARE BEING MADE COMPLETE and WE SHALL BE MADE COMPLETE for all eternity, in Christ Jesus, in the fulness of age. The knowing and understanding of who YOU ARE and who have BECOME in Christ Jesus – is a gracious and graceful treasure; and it’s not enough to know and understand WHO you ARE in all sphere, until you can COMMUNICATE that level of graciousnesss and gracefulness for your EFFECTUAL results, especially to all that pertains to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY. And it’s the COMMUNICATION of your known and understood FAITH in context, that one can enact, authenticate and actualise the VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS blessedness of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5.

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

July 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that transforms the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.

Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and go. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols comes and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.

Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL context:

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God

** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship

** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strength.

** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.

Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

BEING & BECOMING AN UNPARALLELED ARMY

July 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING & BECOMING AN UNPARALLELED ARMY: IT’S AT A COST – THE WILLIAM TYNDALE STORY EFFECT!

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 beware lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION of men, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:1-23

Being born of God in Christ Jesus stead is always exciting; but becoming whom you believe in truth and spirit – to serve Him acceptably and worship Him worthily is at a cost in becoming that UNPARALLELED ARMY. And especially in dealing near you – the religious norms setting of creeds, bylaws and dogmas of the established denominationised, traditionalist and culturalised doctrinal sectarians – that contradict the TRUTH of God’s WORD to suit the norms of the day – in order to keep everyone happy, by appealing extremism and or to sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) – knowing it’s CONTRARY and or AGAINST the WORD of God.

We know in the days of humanity how our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ told the religious sectarians – Pharisees , Sadducees, Herodians and such like – that they make the word of God of no effect because of their traditional and doctrinal dogmas. And the emboldening of standing up to the then atmosphere sectarianism came at a cost, however resulting our SALVATION. Mark 7:11-12; 1 Timothy 3:16.

For such cost of being and becoming UNPARALLELED ARMY, is what William TYNDALE embarked upon to ensure today you have the Holy writ in English, in your hand by dealing with the religious sectarians of His days. And when I came across this beautiful piece of writ concerning him, I resolved to share it with you as you can thoughtfully read now below.

Know for sure I don’t own the writ, it’s Copied and Author unknown. Be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, is my prayer for you now as you read the writ:

HOW TYNDALE WAS KILLED: THE MAN WHO TRANSLATED THE BIBLE INTO ENGLISH – BURNT ALIVE ON OCTOBER 6, 1536.

William TYNDALE, the man who TRANSLATED The Holy Bible into English and was burnt alive at the ridiculous young age of 42 years old, for his efforts. *(Google search – FOXE’S BOOK OF MARTYRS by John Foxes.)*

Nearly 500 years ago, this week, William Tyndale, fondly called ‘Father of the English Bible’ was strangled and burned at the stake after being tried and convicted of heresy and reason for translating the Bible into English.

HIS OFFENSE:

*He translated the Greek Bible into English. *

That you have a Bible in a language you can read is largely due to his labours, and many of the very phrases you read in it retain the flavour of his understanding of the Greek and Hebrew.

A graduate of Oxford and Cambridge, Tyndale had a powerful desire to make the Bible available even to the common people in England, in order to correct the ‘Biblical ignorance of the priests.’ At one point Tyndale told a priest, “If God spares my life, are many years pass, I will cause a boy that driveth the plow, shall know more of the Scriptures than thou dost.

Today, 90% of the King James Version of the Holy Bible and 75% of the Revised Standard Version are from the translation made by Tyndale, a man to whom you owe more than you’ll ever know.

A nice dream, but how was Tyndale to accomplish his task, when translating the Bible into English was ILLEGAL at the time?’

He went to London to ask Bishop Tunstall if he could be authorised to make an English translation of the Bible, but the Bishop would not grant his approval.

However, Tyndale would not let the disapproval of men stop him from carrying out what seemed so obviously God’s will. With encouragement and support of some British merchants, he decided to go to Europe to complete his translation, then have it printed and smuggled back into England.

In 1524 Tyndale sailed for Germany. In Hamburg, he worked on the New Testament, and in Cologne, he found a printer who would print the work. However, news of Tyndale’s activity came to an opponent of the Reformation who had the press raided.

Tyndale himself managed to escape with the pages already printed and made his way to the German city Worms where the New Testament was soon published.

Six thousand copies were printed and smuggled into England.

The Bishops did everything they could to eradicate the Bibles. Bishop Tunstall had copies ceremoniously burned at St. Paul’s; the Archbishop of Canterbury bought up copies to destroy them. Tyndale used the money to print improved editions!

Tyndale continued hiding among the merchants in Antwerp and began translating the Old Testament while the King’s agents searched all over England and Europe for him.

A copy of Tyndale’s “The Obedience of a Christian Man” fell into the hands of Henry VIII, providing the king with the rationale to break the Church in England from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534.

In 1535, Tyndale was arrested and jailed in the castle of Vilvoorde (Filford) outside Brussels for over a year.

Tyndale’s work was denounced by authorities of the Roman Catholic Church and Tyndale himself was accused of Heresy.

Tyndale, 42 was finally found by an Englishman who pretended to be his friend but then turned him over to the authorities. After a year and a half in prison, he was brought to trial for heresy — FOR BELIEVING, among other things, IN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS and that THE MERCY OFFERED IN THE GOSPEL WAS ENOUGH FOR SALVATION. In August 1536, he was condemned and was executed [burned alive at the stake] publicly on October 6, 1536, in a small town in Belgium.

As he burnt to death, Tyndale reportedly said “Lord, open the king of England’s eyes.”

WAS HIS PRAYER ANSWERED? YES! The prayer was answered first in part when three years later, in 1539, Henry VIII required every parish Church in England to make a copy of the English Bible available to its parishioners. Today, Tyndale’s prayer is fully answered, not only are the King’s eyes opened, but the Bible a universal instrument.

In 1611, the 54 scholars who produced the King James Bible drew significantly from Tyndale, as well as from translations that descended from his.

In 2002, Tyndale was placed at number 26 in the BBC’s poll of the 100 Greatest Britons; but in heaven he surely would be before the preceding 25.

A very important and interesting piece of history worth knowing and appreciating by all believers.

And may it challenge us to spend quality time in this same glorious book that this great servant literally gave his life for.

Today it’s hard to imagine the world without an English Bible, and there could now be as many as 900 of such translations in existence – but before Tyndale it had never happened. He’s known as the Father of the English Bible, since the later, epochal work of the King James Version of the Bible largely consisted of Tyndale’s scholarly and accessible translations.

The English language, as with scholarly understanding, continues to evolve – and so the work of Bible translation continues today.

But without the courage and genius of men like Tyndale, who challenged the status quo before them and died for doing so, it might never have been possible.

* Do you remember the firebrand man of God, Archbishop Benson Idahosa, who declared that the planned meeting of Witches and Wizards in Benin cannot hold while he was alive.

* People like Kathryn Kuhlman, Billy Graham,

Smith Wigglesworth and those great men and

women of God . . . ASK THOSE WHO SAW THE REVIVAL OF 1930s,1970s AND 1980s, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHY WE ARE CRYING OVER THIS “FIRE-LESS-NESS” WE ARE SEEING IN OUR GENERATION OF BELIEVERS.

* John Knox prayed: “Lord, Give me Scotland or I die”

* St Patrick, a rugged Believer that brought even dead animals and trees back to life Prayed: “God, Give Me souls or Give Me Nothing Else”

* Brethren, The Hebrides revival prayed: “Lord, if you will not use us, please, kill us”

* The brethren from England who brought the Fire from Azusa Street revival gathered everyday under the terrible cold and their only prayer topic was: “Lord, give us Men that will spread Your Fire in the streets of England”.

* During the Indonesia Revival, those Hungry Hearts were seen Praying day and night, saying: “Lord, the harvest is ripe . . . If it pleases you, Please use us”.

* One prayer that was common during the days of William J. Seymour was: “Lord, this is another day that hell must lose men and women. Please, we are here use us”.

* Paul said: “Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel”

* Rachel said to her husband, Jacob: “Give me children or I die”.

But unfortunately, our churches are filled today with people who are not ashamed of spiritual barrenness. We are asking “God give me money. God give me spouse. God give me Visa”.

Where do we see believers again that will be praying and fasting, and when you listen to them, you will be hearing: “Lord, let Your Fire fall in my community and let there be revival?”

When Paul encountered Christ, he fell and rose. What He asked was: “Lord, what will You have me do”. But today, when we fall under anointing, we start expecting marriage proposals, Visas and Employment letters. This generation of members in our Churches have not had a genuine encounter with the Man of Calvary.

No generation has carried Bibles like us without opening it.

No generation is materially driven like ours and we expect the land to obey us.

Jesus said, pray to the Father that He brings His Kingdom on Earth.

GOD help us to get it on time. Amen.

Let’s build up our spiritual life because its very necessary.

If you miss heaven you can never miss hell. Think about it. Hell isn’t a pretty place.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For though we WALK IN THE FLESH [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Amplified.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to stand against the WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, against powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may OPEN MY MOUTH BOLDLY, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR IN BONDS: that therein I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20.
