PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT: ENVISION IN FAITH – BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION!

God’s PLANS and INTENTS for us is always for the good and best anytime, anywhere, anyhow and anyway; but many times we’ve FAILED in our mission to excel and be established in life because our mission has not got CLEARANCE – a clear cut VISION – from the start and sometimes through the course of that mission we’ve embarked on. It’s wise to ENVISION – plan before launching out on any project.

Where there’s no envision PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT before a mission is embarked on, not only that PEOPLE PERISH, other resource in used for that mission, such as – MATERIAL, FINANCE, TIME and EFFORT are also wasted; consequently, the expected intent damaged, destroyed and probably the end or death of such project.

The horse, that is, RESOURCE for mission needs to be PREPARED with a clear cut vision before that mission is embarked upon in order to be FULFILLED and have an EXCELLENT result at the end of the day.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31).

This consciousness is APPLICABLE to any phase in life but not limited – for example:

** A Student needs to envision what course to study before sourcing the books to enhance such career, otherwise, the diligent effort of study on a course with wrong books will be a waste at the end of the day.

** A person that’s leaved the house to the shopping Centre AIMLESSLY, that is, with unplanned expending on the only amount of money that’s available for the needful – which supposedly for now, the needful is to buy groceries to prepare meal for the lovely kids. Such a person will only end up buying the item’s that’s not needed – such as clothing, shoes and such like; and upon returning home to meet hungry kids awaiting food on the table – but none. Such behaviour happens among people all the time – in business, relationship, governance, leadership, career and such like.

Therefore I say to you – ‘ENVISION BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION’ – it saves one in not expending unwisely these three resources of doing life and living godly: TIME, MONEY and EFFORT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” (Proverbs 29:18).

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31).

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the heart BELONG to man, But the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions], But the Lord WEIGHS and EXAMINES the MOTIVES and INTENTS [of the heart and knows the truth]. 3 COMMIT your WORKS to the Lord [SUBMIT and TRUST them to Him], And your PLANS will SUCCEED [if you respond to His will and guidance] . . .9 A man’s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS his steps and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1-3, 9 (Amplified).

“. . . How can one enter into a STRONG man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he FIRST BIND the strong man? and then he will SPOIL his house” (Matthew 12:29).

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

“For I know the THOUGHTS that I think toward you, saith the Lord, THOUGHTS of peace, and not of evil, to GIVE you an EXPECTED end.” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE

November 4, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference!

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42 NKJV.

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures, NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. It’s time to stop running after men to secure God’s PRESENCE – and no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any become your in-between, for no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:1-2.

Moses knew best, hence, he refuses anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and it’s needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. Exodus 33.

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. How much more could we need God now then ever. Acts 10:38.

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD in His Kingdom causes. Matthew 28:19-20.

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 (Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6).

“. . . Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33 NKJV.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM” Acts 10:38.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto him WHOM he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ORDAINED twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15.

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

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

ENVISION The WAGON

November 3, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENVISION The WAGON – It’s When You ENVISION THE WAGON: You Will Be REVIVED As Jacob!

There’s no one who despises any HEALTHY OPPORTUNITY to rise above the norm. I am yet to find one. Let me know where I am wrong, I’ll humbly submit to corrections if you’ve known or found one.

When Jacob was told and pressured of the need to travel down to Egypt and see Joseph his once acclaimed dead son by his other children, he doubted their news. For, being that Joseph was alive, that beat his imagination and comprehension; and since he couldn’t have imagine or envision it real, he couldn’t BELIEVED them; especially when there’s already a supposedly shown living proof to him by his other children, that he was dead. This thus indicate, that sometimes in life, a mere shown proof you think you have seen and made to know, may be a mere fact, and does not necessarily present the truth in whatsoever to believe or and to rely upon, immediately and permanently. And if it was this days, they could have been a funeral certificate given to ascertain Joseph absence, in the family records as one being dead. This can explain what most dear parents who lost a child and couldn’t have their body to lay to rest in grace are going through. For such scenarios, it hurts and hunts them daily, for such absence over the years as I have come to meet few in such circumstances.

But when Jacob SAW the WAGON with the GOODNESS, ABUNDANCE and GOODIES accompanying the statement and request of Joseph by his doubted other children, his WEAKENED spirit-being, was REVIVED – that is to say – CAME ALIVE from the UNBELIEVING state of being to a BELIEVING state of being.

If you can give room to ENVISION God’s plans-Purposes-Pursuits in your life, the needed WAGON and ASSOCIATES to keep your faith and total being ALIVE, will come along. The needed grace of God’s BLESSEDNESS wherein you stand in faith on Christ Jesus stead will be activated with ease. This I know and understands very well, hence, I am emboldened to share with you likewise. In fact, your act of PRAYER life and FAITH life, will change for good and the best – I can say that to you emphatically and unreservedly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WAGONS and GOODIES that Jacob SAW revives him, to keep him alive and to make him take the next step or leap of faith to see his supposedly lost son Joseph. This is a far better place to be in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead; it’s far better to be with Jacob reviving WAGONS and GOODIES position, than to stay still in poverty and lack, shouting “I RECEIVE”, I RECEIVE”, “I RECEIVE” . . . for nothing, due to no act to see or envision the need to become well and whole again.

In this context, I don’t mean having a day DREAMING imaginations, but by ENVISIONING by the WORD. Joseph had a VISION of a gracious and graceful life years before it happens. And the Father Jacob by what he SAW – insights and foresights – of what his son Joseph sent along, helps him ENVISION the reality of a possible Joseph as told him by the children and affirmation to the ENVISIONED dream that Joseph shared to him and family years ago.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and HE IS GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT. 27 And they TOLD him all the WORDS of Joseph, which he had said unto them: AND WHEN HE SAW THE WAGONS which Joseph had sent to carry him, the SPIRIT of Jacob their father REVIVED: 28 and Israel said, It is ENOUGH; Joseph my son is yet ALIVE: I WILL GO AND SEE HIM BEFORE I DIE” Genesis 45:25-28.

“. . . 5 And Joseph DREAMED (ENVISIONED) a DREAM (VISION), and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this DREAM which I have DREAMED: 7 for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying . . .” Genesis 37:1-36.

“. . . 16 Moreover he CALLED for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. 17 He SENT a man before them, even JOSEPH, who was SOLD for a servant: 18 whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 UNTIL THE TIME THAT HIS WORD CAME: THE WORD OF THE LORD TRIED HIM. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He MADE him LORD of his house, and RULER of all his substance: 22 to BIND his princes at his pleasure; and TEACH his senators wisdom. 23 Israel also CAME into Egypt; and Jacob SOJOURNED in the land of Ham. 24 And he INCREASED his people greatly; and MADE them STRONGER than their enemies. 25 He TURNED their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants . . .” Psalms 105:1-45.

NOVEMBER 2014: Do You ENVISION To Be The BEST

November 2, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

NOVEMBER 2014: Do You ENVISION To Be The BEST – Then Work And Walk At It – It’s God’s EXPECTATIONS From You – Being FAITHFUL!

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP EXISTING, START LIVING.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION (THE CHURCH): RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING (VOLUNTEER) in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3 (Emphasis Mine) (Hebrews 12:22-24).

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and HAST REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10 (Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION it by the WORD and not by a mere vision seeing or day dreaming and presume imagination, life will be a mere existence and not a living worth as may expect or intend to see. Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the reason for SICKNESS, POVERTY and SPIRITUAL DEATH, that you might LIVE to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you LIVE by a mere existence, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you live and reign in life.

Whatever you do as a profession/career – be FAITHFUL to be the BEST in Life and Grace. Are you a Manson/BrickLayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sorts and such like – be the BEST. Whatever is your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresights – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 (Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29).

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centered and self-gains.

It’s not in the good of the Christian FAITH that any should think that they can acclaimed to a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example if one say, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES – to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that they are many people struggling in the Faith in spite of all gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING – 1 Timothy 6:5-6; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it.

Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY.

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the good and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God.

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST thou? And I said, I SEE a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN: for I will HASTEN my WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12.

“And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and SAW every man clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town” (Mark 8:22-26).

“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are ZEALOUS of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may EXCEL to the EDIFYING of the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:12).

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17).

“Let a man so account of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is required in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“If any man TEACH OTHERWISE, AND CONSENT NOT TO WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, KNOWING NOTHING, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

WELCOME TO THE 11TH HOUR MONTH

November 1, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE 11TH HOUR MONTH – THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2021: THE MONTH OF – DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING!

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION WHEREWITH YE ARE CALLED, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:1-3.

The month of DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING, thus indicate – the ESSENCE of Being FAITHFUL in All LABOUR of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in Christ Jesus Stead. For, the month NOVEMBER 2021 is set to examine the essence of “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead as we share in the inheritance availed to us by God in Him. The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in their dawn in the year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings:

FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring.

SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is one of the months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence and productivity toward having a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment, and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up to end strong and stronger, and with outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousnesss, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, NOVEMBER being the ELEVEN month of the year engages me with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose and team spirit; this is, in order to achieve results together as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes the sense of MATURITY to make such happens. And with such essence, been applied in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like, we are as good in fulfilling purpose together meaningfully than as a lone person. For, it’s as we work as a team than as a lone individual, in a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace; this is the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice.

A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM

Therefore, to PERFECTING – maturing and completing in fulness – as a Christian and the Church, God had set SOME and not just ONE person’s MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEAD in His Body Church, rather than ONE person’s trying to dominate in the Church; and His SPIRITUAL GIFTS are severally GIVEN to all to profit withal; and SPIRITUAL FRUIT of the Spirit are of several component within to make a wholesome character in all. All these mentioned in essence, may be found in the following Scriptures but not limited: Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:7-31; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 12:3-8.

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead; and may our God find a place in His heart to record your name and make a MEMORIAL of you in ALL LABOURS, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Therefore, as in Ecclesiastes 9:10, I pray that you will be able to maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment WORTH REMEMBERING as it’s written: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”. It thus means that in ALL LABOURS of doing life and living godly, be it in regards to the expending of finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and as such like, that you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God – that you do it with all graces of FAITH within you in Christ Jesus stead. This NOVEMBER context theme is the challenging opportunity to create a remarkable print in life, in God’s grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I do PRAY for you today, in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God grant you an abundant entrance of grace to LABOUR in His stead in Christ Jesus for His reward, that’s WORTH REMEMBERING, not only for this time but for the rest of the life in humanity, in the context of the scriptures of Hebrews 13:20-21 and Jude 1:24-25 and Romans 16:25-25 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. And may as you meditate upon them accordingly, may you experience God’s inspiring, revealing, and empowering grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, now and always until He returns, in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions:

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25.

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily grace and provisions through this month of NOVEMBER, while working worthy in the vacation wherein you are called of God in Jesus precious name. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL READING WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . but the people that do KNOW their God shall be strong, and DO EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32.

“Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH him not” Malachi 3:16-18.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a MEMORIAL of her” Matthew 26:13.

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in REMEMBRANCE: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified” Isaiah 43:25-26.

“Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your WORK SHALL BE REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may REST FROM THEIR LABOURS; AND THEIR WORKS DO FOLLOW THEM” Revelation 14:13.

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that ye might WALK WORTHY of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness” Colossians 1:9-11.

“Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have LEFT ALL, and have FOLLOWED thee. 29 And Jesus ANSWERED and SAID, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 but he shall RECEIVE AN HUNDREDFOLD NOW IN THIS TIME, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the WORLD TO COME ETERNAL LIFE” Mark 10:28-30.

It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring.

SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is one of the months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and it helps me as matter of diligence and productivity toward having a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilment, to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up to end with testimonies of God’s grace and blessedness upon me, family, ministry and all I care about, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, NOVEMBER being the ELEVEN month of the year engages me with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose and team spirit, in order to achieve results together as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes the sense of MATURITY to make such happens. And with such essence, been applied in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business entrepreneurship, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like, we are as good in fulfilling purpose together meaningfully than as a lone person. For, it’s as we work as a team than as a lone individual, in a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace, to make us good in all goodness rather than when we play the lone person dice.

A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM

Therefore, to PERFECTING – maturing and completing in fulness – as a Christian and the Church, God had set SOME and not just ONE person’s MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEAD in His Body Church, rather than ONE person’s trying to dominate in the Church; and His SPIRITUAL GIFTS are severally GIVEN to all to profit withal; and SPIRITUAL FRUIT of the Spirit are of several component within to make a wholesome character in all. All these mentioned in essence, may be found in the following Scriptures but not limited: Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:7-31; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 12:3-8.

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead; and may our God find a place in His heart to record your name and make a MEMORIAL of you in ALL LABOURS, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Therefore, as in Ecclesiastes 9:10, I pray that you will be able to maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment WORTH REMEMBERING as it’s written: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”. It thus means that in ALL LABOURS of doing life and living godly, be it in regards to the expending of finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and as such like, that you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God – that you do it with all graces of FAITH within you in Christ Jesus stead. This NOVEMBER context theme, is the challenging opportunity to create a remarkable print in life, in God’s grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I do PRAY for you today, in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God grant you an abundant entrance of grace to LABOUR in His stead in Christ Jesus for His reward, that’s WORTH REMEMBERING, not only for this time but for the rest of the life in humanity, in the context of the scriptures of Hebrews 13:20-21 and Jude 1:24-25 and Romans 16:25-25 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. And may as you meditate upon them accordingly, may you experience God’s inspiring, revealing, and empowering grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, now and always until He returns, in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions:

SCRIPTURAL READING WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . but the people that do KNOW their God shall be strong, and DO EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32.

“Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a MEMORIAL of her” Matthew 26:13.

“Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your WORK SHALL BE REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

WISDOM NUGGETS – DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM

October 30, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS – DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM – DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR: SEEK THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL PARENTING AND MENTORING!

Don’t grow in grace in ISOLATION as some do or have done. “Be SEPARATE” in Scriptural terms as written in 2 Corinthians 6:17 (16-18) means being SET APART for God, and doesn’t necessarily mean being in ISOLATION from others or to grow in grace without COMMUNION or ASSOCIATION in the fellowship of the Brethren as written:

“And let us CONSIDER one another in order to STIR up love and good works, 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as is the MANNER of some, but EXHORTING one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

Do you have a Spiritual Parent/Mentor in the walk of grace in Christ Jesus stead or you are just a vagabond child in the kingdom? Don’t Take The Need For Spiritual Parenting and Mentoring For Granted!

“. . . 8 But if you are WITHOUT chastening (GUIDANCE), of which ALL have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE (BASTARD, VAGABOND) and not sons . . .” Hebrews 12:3-11.

May I advice and say – Don’t be a headless and a no Shepherd guide Child in the Kingdom. Much more so, endeavour to go to a Church gathering place of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP where there’s a SHEPHERD and not a HIRELING as Christ warns in John 10:1-15.

Don’t be deterred from the principle act of responsibility and accountability in the Kingdom, because you think or know that there are some TOUTS operating Ministry in the name of God (Jude 1:1-24; Philippians 1:12-21, 27); and don’t allow the errors of some to make you take for granted and play low the essence of Scriptural injunctions for yourself as written in Ephesians 4:7-16; know for sure, there’s an essence for the place of Shepherd in the Kingdom – to cause growth, maturity and perfection in the Body Ministry, in Christ Jesus stead. This is needful until He returns for His Church, that set to be glorious, victorious, triumphant, more than conquerors, without spot and wrinkles and faithfully awaiting Him.

For the cause of the above reasons, Apostle Paul dearly and passionately exhorted, admonished and gave a charged in this wise:

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN you through the GOSPEL” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Thanks to God for the workings of the Holy Spirit in all BELIEVERS in Christ. Yet Today, there are many SPIRITUAL PARENTLESS Christian’s around, who are busy changing churches places of worship and fellowship as they change their clothes; and in some cases they have become more of a spiritual harlots; And for this absurd behavioural act of conduct, some parts of the Churches of Christ are in many phases of decay and having genuine leadership problems; and some on a fall outs as Apostle Paul admonished young Timothy on how he OUGHT to BEHAVE – CONDUCT himself in house of God as written:

“These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am DELAYED, I write so that you may KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO CONDUCT yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Some of these absurd behavioural act of conduct are people who can’t lead themselves in the kingdom, but now are leading people and with no appropriate counselling and guidance, and have reproduce their kinds forming the mixed multitude around, creating schisms and questions both within the body of Christ and even among the unbelieving world who we ought to give the light of God without question.

Just because you are born of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and knows some couples of scriptures and speak forth in other tongues even more than your teachers doesn’t makes you to live without spiritual parenting. You need to SEEK for one. It’s possible to have many people around you to INSTRUCT you about the ways of God both in life, family and ministry, BUT endeavour to locate your Spiritual mentor’s as FATHER’S and MOTHER’S in faith that is reachable and you will respect, honour and dignify their spiritual position in your life for guidance knowing they will not take advantage of you or make you vulnerable in the faith. Their guidance as said by Apostle Paul in the scripture above of 1 Corinthians 4:15, will enhance, establish, strengthen and impart your faith in the Lord in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH and FULFILLED in Christ.

There is the NEED for SPIRITUAL PARENTING and MENTORING in the Kingdom Gospel of Christ Jesus. I do encourage you to Pray about it and God will lead you right to such gracious and graceful spiritual parent in faith as promised in Jeremiah 3:15, who will endeavour to see you established all round in Christ Jesus stead in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

Blessed regards in life and godliness!

“For God is my witness, whom I SERVE with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you ALWAYS in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me” (Romans 1:9-12).

“Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me DAILY, the CARE of all the churches” (2 Corinthians 11:28).

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My SON, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor FAINT when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for whom the Lord LOVETH he CHASTENETH, and SCOURGETH every son whom he RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS (ILLEGITIMATE), and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in SUBJECTION unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present SEEMETH to be JOYOUS, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11 (Emphasis Mine).

THE BLESSING OF GOD

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Much More Than Silver, Gold & Precious Stones!

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones, and more. It’s called ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

The Blessing of God enriches one with silver, gold, and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quest of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers us to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘The Blessing’ of God becomes a part of your being, there’s the leverage that makes one live a stressless, sorrow-free, and struggle-free life in the midst of a troublesome world with diverse circumstances.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus, that you are BLESSED with ‘The Blessing of God’ and ‘The Blessing of God’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus; the realm wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate and used against you or on your behalf as it pleases them.

It’s by FAITH, the heavenly legal and vital TENDER that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Amen. Why not crave today for such realm of being BLESSED with – The Blessing of God!

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty be endowed and endued – in you, with you and upon you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!
