THE PATH OF LIFE: FOUND IN GOD’S PRESENCE AND AT HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“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.

Do you want to do life with God? Do you want to live godly with God? Do you want to access God and stay put in Him? Do you really want all things that pertains to doing life and godliness that’s made available to us by God’s divine power in Christ Jesus? Do you want to ensure that God’s precious promised BLESSEDNESS are readily accessible and reachable effortless as by His divine nature? If you answer is yes as in mine, then we need to follow His set path of life for us in His divine plan, purpose and pursuit. You need to follow His set life path and way, for He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And God’s set plan, purpose and pursuit for our life path, is to enable us have His FULNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOREVER MORE – and are found and ensured in these context:

** Living within HIS PRESENCE as a life style by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

** Living within HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is in Christ Jesus.

For the path of the righteous in God’s set plan in Christ Jesus, will give the dawn day for the dawn life that we do earnestly desired and craved to attain in Him in Christ Jesus.

“But the PATH of the JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day . . .” Proverbs 4:18-23 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I say to you today that for the unspeakable, indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible complete JOY and UNENDING PLEASURES of God in Christ Jesus stead, you and I needs to practice the life style of LIVING WITHIN GOD’S PRESENCE. And God’s PRESENCE which is – to being LED by the Holy Spirit 24/7; and another is to ensure we do stay WITHIN the bounds of God’s RIGHT HAND, which is, His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, not in our own man-made religious dogma, denominational creeds and bye-laws, and some set traditions that make the WORD of God of no effect in us.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS today that you are awaken to enjoy to God’s set part of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP: BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the SONS of God” Romans 8:14.

The realm of SONSHIP in Christ is not for those who merely or just have the Spirit within, but it’s a realm for those who are LED by His presence. Are you being LED by Him on a day to day or you just have Him only for a keep or whenever.

Sonship in this context is a non-gender. Being a CHILD of God is good and great. It only offers you entrance as a baby under tutors and guidance. But in the realm of being a SON – SONSHIP, you exercise dominion, authority based on PRINCIPLE and define your life plan, purpose and pursuit statuesque in Christ Jesus. It’s a position that’s endowed with trust and integrity, diligence and prudence, reverential fear and love, responsibility and accountability, grace and speed, truth and righteousness, will and obedience, wisdom and virtue, charisma and character, and such like. The intent is to advance God’s Kingdom causes on earth and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

By being LED by Him – the Holy Spirit of TRUTH, you unveil yourself to the realm of REVELATION on the written and unwritten WORD of God which I call the working ACTS of the HOLY SPIRIT within. For SONSHIP POSITION is about being LED by the Holy Spirit through our human spirit on the WORD of God.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that HE may ABIDE WITH you forever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the SONS of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).

“But you have an ANOINTING from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially GIFTED and PREPARED by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the TRUTH because He TEACHES us, ILLUMINATES our minds, and GUARDS us from error]. . . 27 As for you, the ANOINTING [the special gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him REMAINS [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, [a]you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:20, 27 (AMPLIFIED).

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is under TUTORS and GOVERNORS until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were CHILDREN, were in bondage under the ELEMENTS of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of SONS. 6 And because YE ARE SONS, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a SERVANT, but a SON; and if a SON, then an HEIR of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN

July 27, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN: KNOW The SCRIPTURES For YOURSELF!

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in errors, being mistaken and taken up as PREY and become VICTIM to the ENEMY and COHORTS because of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness and vulnerability. Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing otherwise you exposed yourself to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lion and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Ministers of God while there are under the enclave of Satan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s very imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world to God’s word, if you must avoid ERRORS and being MISTAKEN – meaning, you need to INTENTIONALLY resolved to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead with ease and comfort. That’s the place of honour and dignity and nobility as found in the Berea Believers of the Bible days of Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . “ Isaiah 5:11-16.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT to be ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE TO MAKE thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

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

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

July 26, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” Amos 8:11.

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

Living in spiritual drought? It’s time to do something about it. Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity (ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realize that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17, which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a result of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly, on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (Amos 8:11-14).

It’s time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well-being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – (1 Peter 5:8-11). And when you feed healthily our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen, and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT FOR THIRST. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

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

“Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD” Job 23:12.

“Wherewithal shall a young man CLEANSE his way? by TAKING HEED thereto ACCORDING to THY WORD . . . 105 Thy Word is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . .130 The ENTRANCE of THY WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:9, 105, 130.

“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 Emphasis Mine.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE), throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH

July 25, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH: AS AN UNPARALLELED ARMY – GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR!

“Thou art my BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I BREAK (SHATTER ) in pieces the nations, and with thee will I DESTROY kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 with thee also will I BREAK in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces old and young; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also BREAK in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces captains and rulers” Jeremiah 51:20-23 Emphasis Mine.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY- the Church of God needs to firstly come to the point to fully acknowledge and understand the essence of embracing the SCRIPTURAL truth and vitality that – YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR! Thus indicating you are not just enrolled in the army by virtue of being born of God, but you are the army the vessel weapon in use to transmit the weaponry to win and TRIUMPH in every way of God’s cause on earth in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And this you do, by HOLDING onto the mystery of the Faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

FAITH is our life connection and currency of demands and supply on the heavenly for our earthly affairs. FAITH is NOW – Present tense and its active not passive unlike BELIEVE which is passive. Faith is the only spiritual legal and tender mystery to do Kingdom business exchange with God. It pleases God. And FAITH is about ACTING accordingly and correspondingly on what your BELIEVE on, and of, God’s WORD in context, without a doubtful thoughts. Mark 11:20-24. Hebrews 11:1-40. Faith is not MYSTERIOUS or MYSTICAL as some may THINK. It’s not a CREED, DOCTRINE or RELIGION or SECTARIAN or DENOMINATIONAL. Faith is the heavenly currency that operates in divine mystery that can’t be adulterated and counterfeited as other legal and vital tenders in use in the world. Faith is spiritual and life streaming 24/7 to meet all human affairs with the heavenly supply unhindered.

And there’s the need for you to hold earnestly and steadfastly unto the Faith that brings about the victory if one must succeed and excel and triumph with God in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in life and grace. Faith is not just the spiritual legal and vital tender to do the heavenly business for our earthly affairs, but the mystery of grace that can and will always paralyse every operation of the ENEMY and COHORTS against the Believer’s FAITH in Christ Jesus in God. And as such, there’s the need to be alert, vigilant and sensitive in the Spirit to exercise a pure heart and of a good conscience to safeguard the FAITH from the mode of operandi of the enemy and cohorts operations, especially toward you as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8.

There is and there are – LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these Life BATTLES are real to ALL and it’s irrespective to any – and it’s not about if and when. And OVERCOMING and TRIUMPHING is ASSURED as we do life by holding steadily steady on the mystery of FAITH. That’s what the enemy and cohorts can’t figure out how by faith victory is certainly certain over the world systems, when and while in the dealing with an INFORMED unparalleled army – the you, the local and universal body of Christ Jesus.

“For everyone born of God is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world; and this is the VICTORY that has CONQUERED and OVERCOME the world—our [continuing, persistent] FAITH [in Jesus the Son of God]. 5 Who is the one who is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world? It is the one who BELIEVES and RECOGNIZES the fact that is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5 Amplified.

And the greatest of ALL life battles, is the BATTLE of your FAITH in Christ Jesus. And there’s an ENEMY and COHORTS out there 24/7 that’s fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively and looking for any avenue and opportunity to devour you of your FAITH in Christ. For the ENEMY and COHORTS knows that if it can get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED. Your FAITH is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S set up SYSTEM, which is run and control by the ENEMY and COHORTS against your well-being in Christ Jesus.

“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT and CAUTIOUS at ALL TIMES. That ENEMY of yours, the DEVIL, PROWLS around like a ROARING lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be FIRM in your FAITH [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favour], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified).

Hence when the ENEMY and COHORTS roar, or makes attacks on you in its acts of operandi, you need to know and understand that its actual PRIMARY aim and objective are not after your – Money, Family, Career, Relationship, Business, Ministry and such like. Its PRIMARY intent is that you GIVE UP and QUIT on your FAITH, for your FAITH is the ONLY divinely instilled mechanism that OVERCOMES and ENACT your REDEMPTION in humanity to live and do life.

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast PROFESSED a good PROFESSION before many witnesses” 1Timothy 6:12.

We are enjoined therefore, to stand up tall by HOLDING on the mystery of our FAITH, in order to FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in any life BATTLES. There is no room for fainting and giving up so easily in any phase and sphere because the victory is ASSURED to come.

“If thou hast RUN with the FOOTMEN, and they have WEARIED thee, then how canst thou CONTEND with HORSES? and if in the land of PEACE, wherein thou TRUSTEDST, they WEARIED thee, then how wilt thou DO in the SWELLING of Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5.

Therefore, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH, as a way of PREPAREDNESS to life daily BATTLES in order to SOAR IN DOMINION through life and the years of living that our God will make possible for you in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO FAITH means a NO PLEASING of God, for the just must live in the holding up on the mystery of the Faith to win and triumph. Hence PREPAREDNESS is imperative and non-negotiable.

“The horse is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the LORD” Proverbs 21:31.

For your FAITH is the MYSTERY for your VICTORY, TRIUMPH, SUCCESS, DOMINION, THRIVING and ACHIEVING; and to OVERCOME and to live the life of A MORE THAN CONQUEROR status – in LIFE and GRACE, in Christ Jesus stead – and you need to hold to the FAITH MYSTERY in a PURE CONSCIENCE thereby making it in all possible. Your FAITH is a one lane two way street – Your Today and your Tomorrow – TREASURE IT. And Hold unto it in a PURE CONSCIENCE as an UNPARALLELED ARMY. Your FAITH is the MYSTERY for your VICTORY in life and godliness – HOLD UNTO IT WITH A PURE CONSCIENCE.

“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: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

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.

“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.

PRAYING FOR YOU

July 24, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYING FOR YOU: FOR AN EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION!

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in THE POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

To be EFFECTUAL is to be successful in accomplishing – producing or being capable of producing – a desired or intended result. It thus means that an EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is utmost important to your thriving, flourishing and fulfilment if you must experience a MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING living as a Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Recall that our Saviour and Lord, in His humanity was communicating graciousness against all odds to silence the religion and sectarianism of His days and to indicate how to communicate on earthly affairs with heavenly by the mystery of FAITH.

“And ALL BARE Him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

And to COMMUNICATE is to – speak, say, talk, declare, announce – forth to life MATTERS – challenges and situations, by your FAITH on the WORD of God, in Christ Jesus stead, in order to get an EFFECTUAL results. For FAITH is to act correspondingly on what you BELIEVE of the WORD of God accordingly in context. FAITH is active while to believe is passive. And to BELIEVE is to be pregnant with the WORD which by exercising FAITH, content in context have to deliver unhindered.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

That matter and or the matter of life that appears as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE – are classed as long standing obstacles, to your path to an effectual and a successful well-being. And for your meaningful triumph and victory, it needs a FAITH COMMUNICATION to ensure you have an EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – atmosphere in your PURPOSEFUL walk of faith in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:23-24.

And to COMMUNICATE to your life MATTERS – challenges and situations, is the only means for an EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE) results that’s free of sorrow, stress and sweat, in matters of doing life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. All this is simply because the VICTORY and TRIUMPH has been DONE – meaning A DONE DEED – in Christ Jesus, and ours is to live daily in affirmative to ENACT and AUTHENTIC it by TESTIFYING to it through the ACKNOWLEDGING (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) of the good done in us by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

It’s upon this KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING I thereby pray for you today in this SCRIPTURAL context above as Apostle Paul did pray for Philemon to come to the knowledge and understanding of having an EFFECTUAL results in all live dealings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s how to have the Abraham BELIEVE and FAITH to turn around the natural law on the womb of Sarah to give birth again after time is past to do so – in calling by – saying, declaring, announcing, proclaiming – those THINGS that be not as though there were..

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

“(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE” Romans 4:17.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be exalted And every MOUNTAIN and hill brought low; The CROOKED PLACES shall be made straight And the ROUGH PLACES smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:8-13.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23).

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:16-25.

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH

July 24, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH: AS AN UNPARALLELED ARMY – GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR!

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

FAITH is our life connection and currency of demands and supply on the heavenly for our earthly affairs. FAITH is NOW – Present tense and its active not passive unlike BELIEVE which is passive. Faith is the only spiritual legal and tender mystery to do Kingdom business exchange with God. It pleases God. And FAITH is about ACTING accordingly and correspondingly on what your BELIEVE on, and of, God’s WORD in context, without a doubtful thought. Mark 11:20-24. Hebrews 11:1-40. Faith is not MYSTERIOUS or MYSTICAL as some may THINK. It’s not a CREED, DOCTRINE or RELIGION or SECTARIAN or DENOMINATIONAL. Faith is the heavenly currency that operates in divine mystery that can’t be adulterated and counterfeited as other legal and vital tenders in use in the world. Faith is spiritual and life streaming 24/7 to meet all human affairs with the heavenly supply unhindered.

And there’s the need for you to hold earnestly and steadfastly unto the Faith that brings about the victory if one must succeed and excel and triumph with God in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in life and grace. Faith is not just the spiritual legal and vital tender to do the heavenly business for our earthly affairs, but the mystery of grace that can and will always paralyze every operation of the ENEMY and COHORTS against the Believer’s FAITH in Christ Jesus in God. And as such, there’s the need to be alert, vigilant and sensitive in the Spirit to exercise a pure heart and of a good conscience to safeguard the FAITH from the mode of operandi of the enemy and cohorts operations, especially toward you as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast PROFESSED a good PROFESSION before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“The horse is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the LORD” Proverbs 21:31.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED

July 21, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS!

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

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

There’s an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS for you in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, in life we are face daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that’s to BECOME by THE WORD of God. For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . Hence, to BECOME in that desired yearnings of your heart by the enabling POWER of CHOICE in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God, is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE , DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worse than cancerous disease of any sorts. Acts 17:30-31. It breeds stupidity and foolishness and arrogance. For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, has ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. And those by chance to amanced anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place as it’s written –

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ’ but rather that “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. The principle there, is this, that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction, that is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Governance, Marriage (Marital-Relationships), Friendship-Relationship and such like the more.

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then failures awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. It’s because of their RUNNING by a mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. Simply know for the truth that a good understanding breeds Favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness as it’s written:

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING.

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY.

Have a graceful and blessed day.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER

July 21, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead!

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same COMMIT thou to FAITHFUL men, who shall be able to TEACH others also. 3 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. 5 And if a man also STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:1-5

The Church of God as UNPARALLELED ARMY is a Militant-like Soldier who is daily at WAR in every aspect of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual WARFARE. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily ready to get engaged whenever and wherever in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to life’s, families, communities, nations and more.

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT’S GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN NATURE IN CHRIST JESUS TO WIN AND TRIUMPH DAILY AS SET AND ASSURED

The Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, is also a triumphant Church. Each warfare and battle defines, refines, refreshes, energizes, rejuvenates, refires and renews the Church; hence the Church is GLORIOUS in all, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, pervert and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim and prey rather than a victor. You are a winner any day and anyway in everywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without. Ephesians 6:10-20.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

And this WAR and WARFARE is about our FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence Apostle Paul says we should FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, indicating some fights are uncalled-for, not good fights, not fight worth engaging on and we should be aliens to them by every means. Suffice to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS are not necessarily after your physical possession and well being in their engagement of WAR and WARFARE against you. They are actually using the things you consider there are after as a distraction from the real deal. Their main target is your FAITH. To make you GIVE UP on your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus. Knowing that, as long as you steadfastness in God in Christ Jesus is steadily steady, you can ALWAYS recover all losses by the winning faith as Job deed. For Job recovered the MORE by taking the stand that the Redeemer lives in spite of all he went through with Satan and cohorts friends and wife against his stand in God – Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1Timothy 6:12

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11;

And because we ARE at war and warfare, it takes a spirited Militant-Like Soldier stand to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Herein are some lessons to keep in minds as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to avoid the setbacks, set ups and create a safety and security net that’s WORTH doing to win in life and grace.

What is a Church? A Church is the you (an individual), the local and the universal body of born again (of God) Believer’s on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, having (under) a Shepherd.

The reason while this definition is important in the context of the scriptures is because there are many loose and loosely individual’s and locals Believer’s out there who belongs to no Shepherd or rather not under any Shepherd for reckoning – Hebrews 13:16-17. Such Believer’s are vulnerable or position in a vulnerability states knowingly and or unknowingly – which is a state of ignorance, fooolishness and arrogance and stupidity due to some zealousness without knowledge and understanding in context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary program called OUR PLANET. In the course of them watching the program for the few occasions of sitting down around with the children, I was curious about how the Cat family – especially the Lion and Leopard can easily target up their prey in order to feed and make a meal off them. Most of the time, I discovered they are always looking out to target a stand-alone prey from the herds. And once identified, in their chase they can corner out that vulnerable stand alone, and their day meal is is set and made readily ready.

And it gives me a picture on how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable stand alone Believer’s in Christ Jesus – who are not keen to have a covering Shepherd over their head. They roam about as spiritual harlots accountable to no one and none can account on their behalf – Hebrews 13:16-17. These Believers that belong to no fellowship or Local assembly or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldier for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon at challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER BELIEVER’S AND MINISTER’S IN THE BODY OF CHRIST GOSPEL MINISTRY

When you think because you can read the Bible and pray to Father God in Christ Jesus, speak in tongues of the Holy Spirit, makes you not to see the need to have interaction and communication and fellowship with other Believer’s of same like father – you are knowingly setting yourself as lone soldier. I have seen people who are more in bond and bound to their set denomination and doctrine and sectarians settings that when they come to a new dwelling places and can’t find the same kind of local assembly they came from, they are not going to worship and serve God wholeheartedly in any new places of gathering for worship.

And some immediately will either form their own gathering assembly as if that’s the only mark to worship and serve God worthily and acceptably and make heaven. And unfortunately, some Minister’s are not in any way out of this hook, because they have so much indoctrinated people with denominational spirit than with the Gospel of the body ministry of Christ Jesus, as such wants their members to use their opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch settings and immediately made such people Pastor’s overnight, even the individuals knows there’s no call of God upon their life for such spiritual placement and position – hence today there’s all manners of confusion and schisms and pevert and adulterations in the body ministry of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. And it’s of such like that Apostle Paul warns Timothy not to suddenly lay hands on any man for a spiritual high office to safeguard the body ministry – 1 Timothy 5:22.

In my watching over the natural national militant soldiers and interacting with some fews to hear their respective storyline, one thing I have learnt and can conclude from them is that they never fight alone without a team spirit and set back ups so that when there’s an injury from the enemy’s and cohorts side, there’s an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side whether dead or alive to preserved the honour and dignity and integrity to SERVE as soldier.

Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness and schism exist, I have seen from grandstand where fellow UNPARALLELED ARMY are abandoned and left for the enemy and cohorts to have a full feed day upon in the name of punishment or sectarians reason’s. Yet, the commandant of the UNPARALLELED ARMY, our Lord Jesus won’t abandon and let His own be devour but will take them along as good, chief and great shepherd of the sheep to nurse His own and strengthen them so that they can recover speedily and live to fight another day as David will do against the Lion and the Bear that came along his way with his father’s sheep he was shepherding – and he was able to keep the sheep safe, secure and protected as the scriptures recorded – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER. You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY. You ARE the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Be wise to take your place and PUT OFF the civilian uniform and PUT ON the armour of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Colossians 3:9-15; Ephesians 6:10-18.

BLESSED REGARDS IN THIS READ IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT THE FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“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? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“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 54:15-17.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN you, than he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.

With these WEAPONS I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

YOU ARE OF GOD

YOU ARE OF GOD: AND YOU ARE ON GOD’S DEFAULT TO LIVE THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE!

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them, because GREATER is He that is IN you, than he that is in the World. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:4-6).

Friend, the GREATER God lives in you. In Christ Jesus, YOU ARE MORE THAN your challenges and circumstances. Can I hear from you an assuring, ensuring and insuring Amen. If you believe it say it again and again until you are indeed assured and can ensure in your spirit being that you can and will do life in this stead in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Therefore, as you step into this NEW DAY, may you not see it as ANOTHER DAY of the same which you’ve experience with it’s overwhelming challenges and pains; I pray you see it as the DAWN of a NEW DAY, and you are in it to be a VOICE not an ECHO, to be an OVERCOMER, to LIVE and DO LIFE by it, in the realm of the Greater one that dwells in you to make it tangible and real good indeed.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that, as you LIVE and DO LIFE through the Lord God THIS DAY, may the GREATER one that lives in you, makes you GREATER; and cause the ENABLING GRACE to authenticate you a VOICE and not an ECHO; and to speaks FORTH GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS into the wilderness of human depravation in your life and that of others; and for the HIGHER life and living, in the FULFILMENT of Isaiah 40:3-5 in this wise:

* MOUNTAINS AND HILLS BECOMES PLAIN

* VALLEY PLACES ARE FILLED/EXALTED

* ROUGH PLACES BECOME SMOOTH

* CROOKED PATHS BECOME STRAIGHT

May this DAWN DAY awaken God’s glory in you – to live and do life HIGHER and GREATER than your expectations in Jesus BLESSED Name. Amen.

May your GREATER LIFE leverage in His BLESSEDNESS remains ensured, assured and insured. May you BECOME the needed VOICE as you do life to ENSURE and ASSURE your GREATER LIFE mandate in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And ALL bare him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, TO THEM THAT HAVE OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby ARE GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a HIGHWAY for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and THE GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all FLESH shall SEE it together: for the MOUTH of the Lord hath SPOKEN it” Isaiah 40:3-5.
