God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

October 28, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE!

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.

We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving to TILL YOUR LAND in grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. And to have and to ensure to be assured of God’s power to get wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish, but an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness which embodiment is for us by wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates, that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mystery’s of God without being mystical as some do craven after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too.

And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God, God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.

It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13]. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

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

For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around it’s to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power –[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, Initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady.

Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12].

I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

October 26, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: IT’S ABOUT BEING THE LIGHT AND THE ANSWER TO SOMEONE ELSE DARKNESS AND QUEST!

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS, hath shined in OUR HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6.

Are you a Gospel Minister, Christian Worker and or a Believer of The Christian Faith? I pray you to be the GOOD SAMARITAN and not the extra busy and insensitive PRIEST and LEVITE of Luke 10:25-37, who seems too religiously busy and insensitive to have a moment for the QUEST of the needy as per when it’s most important when the opportunity to do so was within their reach.

Sometimes for many we’ve overlooked the essence of the Ministry of the Gospel – which is about solving life problems, and for which, we are in the World and not of the World. This thus indicate the need to be heavenly mindful and also of earthly good. We need to be earthly good even to a fault, if that’s what it takes to give hope, love, faith, peace, opportunity and more, to someone else.

Solving life problems for others will take passion that might involve sacrifice and service. You may not be positioned to have the physical answer per se for everything, but a PRAYER, a heartfelt concern to care may be more helpful than the actual physical provision; especially when it’s not within your physical possessions to offer and provide. When you become the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest, our God in return will beam His light of life in His own ways and time on your own darkness and quest.

Give yourself a trial this week, by being the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest. The Father God will be glorified, and you will be blessed indeed. Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Ye are the LIGHT of the world. A CITY that is SET on an HILL cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16).

“Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. PROVIDE THINGS HONEST IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, FEED him; if he thirst, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:16-21

“If thine enemy be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a fault, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so FULFIL the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY unto them who are of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:1-10.

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

October 23, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: NO MORE REASONS TO FALL AS A VICTIM OR BE A PREY IN ERRONEOUS DOMAIN!

“And so were the churches ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, and INCREASED in number daily” Acts 16:5.

To BEING ESTABLISHED IN FAITH is both foundational and fundamental to the Christian spiritual walk in Christ Jesus’ stead; and it’s in order to enhance the individual and collective Believer’s in Christ Jesus to advance the Kingdom causes of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – effortlessly and without sweat and stress. And more importantly, to safeguard you from working and walking in the name of Christ Jesus stead mistakingly and erroneously in religious sectarianism and denominationalism and not after Christ Jesus stead indeed.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [ERRONEOUS, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29 [Mark 12:24].

When you are BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, you can graciously and gracefully COMMUNICATE THE FAITH and be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH in all matters of doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. That’s when in essence, you are assuring and ensuring that you live fully in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, fulfilling purpose. For this cause, Apostle longs to see the Romans Church brethren that he might impart some spiritual gift to them, so that they may be established in the faith, and sharing the mutual faith BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 1:11-12.

It’s a high time to ensure and be assured that the man made-up and make-up belief and believes, traditions and erroneous deceit that have entangled many religiously in sectarianism and denominationalism, have no more setting, sitting and seating places in your path of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

And the Book that answers your quest is now within reach, which I strongly recommend to you without prejudice. And it’s to God’s glory and praise in His BLESSEDNESS, for this INSPIRING, REVEALING and EMPOWERING Book entitled: “BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH”.

The BOOK is AVAILABLE in any major ONLINE BOOKSTORES like AMAZON, AUTHORHOUSE, BARNES and NOBLE, WATERSTONES etc.

The Book will change you for the good and goodness; it’s not just imparting in truth and grace but also impactful and explicit with knowledgeable and understandable path to TRIUMPH; and you have to READ it to actualised in essence and fulness, the victory in the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the writ.

Be Blessed in the grace.

“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.

“And the WORD of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have RECEIVED GRACE and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 1:1-7.

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

October 21, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: MATTERS PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN IN A FAULT, ye which ARE SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself” Galatians 6:1-3

In our course to fulfill the cause of grace as pertaining to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, there are certain misnomers that may arise that are more of human creation than are scriptural in context. And in relative terms may create a contradiction in the general faith of the individual, local, and universal body of Christ Jesus. And the context is not about what happened, or has happened or is happening but how we go sorting an answer to enable us to stay in the freedom wherein Christ has made us free in REDEMPTION. It is the know-how context we need to address and be addressing by and by, in ensuring and assuring all that ARE of God in Christ Jesus, can then be found in their feet to a wholesome stand in the faith, and by the grace of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

“It was for this freedom that Christ set us FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 6 For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:1, 6/Amplified.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, declared blameless before God] by FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/Amplified.

Herein are my takes in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT for the good and goodness on us, and on how to deal and be dealing with MATTERS that are in dispute and contentious in the Christian faith. These set out principles are SCRIPTURALLY healthy, in order to stay SCRIPTURALLY balance in the CONTEXT of disputes, disputed and contentions amongst us in the Faith, if you must avoid errors and the extremely offs, at all ends of the Christian faith as Jesus caution the sectarianism of His days in humanity.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [ERRONEOUS, MISTAKENLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 [Mark 12:24]/Emphasis Mine.

And, I am certainly confident that when you follow the principle guidances, which I know are of the Holy Spirit, you can RESOLVE without been in extreme disputes and contention in the Christian FAITH. It has SAVED me severally from day zero of giving myself to do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, when dealing with matters that of any serious contention and disputes, these are the keynotes to approach such matter, in order to keep your being in Christ Jesus safe in the FAITH, without hurting self or another in Christ Jesus stead: Herein are the three basic PRINCIPLES to apply in all situations and circumstances of disputes and contentions:

** IN ESSENTIALS: DO PURSUE UNITY

** IN NON – ESSENTIALS: DO ALLOW LIBERTY

** IN ALL THINGS: DO ENSURE LOVE – CHARITABLE LOVE CAUSE

It’s high time to always get APPROVED of God as JESUS CHRIST in His stead, and not on men’s APPLAUD that’s of sentiments and prejudice that leads to all manners of dissemination – Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15. You need to BUILD your FAITH based on God’s WORD, in order to get His APPROVAL in principle and not in sentiments and prejudice and then be free from hypocrisy and sectarianism. For Men’s APPLAUD legislate and are of sentiments and prejudice and it’s not based on the principle of God’s WORD in Christ Jesus stead. Men’s APPLAUD are, as seen in among religious zealots and sectarianism, denominational dogmas and creeds, man-made legislative make-belief, traditions sect settings of men by-laws and such like, as seen telegraph in many current situations in the world today. Don’t be entangled with any person in matters, where many think that GAINS is equal to GODLINESS and SPIRITUALITY with their disputation and prejudice, and sectarianism. 1 Timothy 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

Be WATCHFUL and VIGILANT before you are eluded by men in titles, status and gains. Be always, constantly, and fervently LED of the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, for anything else is religion and man-made make belief and sectarianism.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RECEIVE one who is WEAK in the FAITH, but not to DISPUTES over DOUBTFUL things. 2 For one BELIEVES he may EAT all things, but he who is weak EATS only vegetables. 3 Let not him who EATS despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has RECEIVED him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his OWN MASTER he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is ABLE to make him stand. 5 One person ESTEEMS one day above another; another ESTEEMS every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who OBSERVES the day, OBSERVES it to the Lord; and he who DOES NOT OBSERVE the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For NONE of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you JUDGE your brother? Or why do you show CONTEMPT for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may EDIFY another. 20 Do not DESTROY the work of God for the SAKE of food. ALL THINGS indeed are PURE, but it is EVIL for the man who EATS with OFFENSE. 21 It is good NEITHER to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother STUMBLES or is OFFENDED or is MADE WEAK. 22 DO YOU HAVE FAITH? Have it to YOURSELF before God. HAPPY is he who DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF in what he APPROVES. 23 But he who DOUBTS is CONDEMNED if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for WHATEVER is not from FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:1-23.

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

“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.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“. . . 3 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 6:1-6.

“As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 NEITHER GIVE HEED TO FABLES AND ENDLESS GENEALOGIES, WHICH MINISTER QUESTIONS, RATHER THAN GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: SO DO. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from WHICH SOME HAVING SWERVED HAVE TURNED ASIDE UNTO VAIN JANGLING; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

LIVING FOR THE GOSPEL CAUSE – GOD IS FAITHFUL: HIS PROMISES STANDS ASSURED IN HIS PURPOSE!

** IN GENERAL:

“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.

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

** IN CHRIST JESUS:

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

** FOR ME AS IN APOSTLE PAUL:

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

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL the WORDS of this LIFE” Acts 5:20

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us able MINISTERS of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

BEING FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM

October 17, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM: ON GOD’S FAITHFULNESS!

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3.

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE”. As seed of Abraham, there’s the need to being FAITHFUL, as FAITHFUL Abraham on God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. This I have done for over 50yrs and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:9, 29 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written:

“So then THEY which be of FAITH are BLESSED with FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. . . 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:9, 29.

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be Abraham seed and wants Abraham Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as Abraham, as we do sing “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who ARE of FAITH in Christ Jesus, ARE of Abraham and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This becomes possible because Abraham was ascribed as being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience cum humility in believing God’s word above anything else and being ASSURED of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be, in all about him doing life and living godly to fulfil God’s divine PURPOSE meaningfully.

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how FAITH wrought with his works, and by works was FAITH made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” James 2:20-24.

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the GOSPEL as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the GOSPEL of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly, intentionally and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25 and Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in his BLESSEDNESS of him with God, in that he was FAITHFUL as ascribed as – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM.

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today:

He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. [Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7)].
He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. [Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6].
He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings. [Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33)].
He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful. [Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39].
He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. [Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21].
He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy. [Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25].
He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenge, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity save him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. [Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30].
He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he finds himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. [Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10].
He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. [Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19].
He was FAITHFUL even at his loss of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILL for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. [Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13].
He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. [Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12].
He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfilling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. [Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22].

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortified and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing.

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he’s toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED STRENGTH TO CONCEIVE SEED, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she judged him FAITHFUL who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-11, 17-19.

“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 4:17-25.

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH

October 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE NEED TO TREASURE IT!

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO” Matthew 6:19-21 (Luke 12:32-34).

I grew up knowing that one will always dignify, preserve, defend and protect what one truly and earnestly treasures in life and grace. And in the same essence, I can say that:

THERE’S THE NEED TO TREASURE YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. THE ESSENCE OF BUILDING IT UP IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD IS GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS.

And if I may ask of you today – How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? For I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and will the more ensure that the enemy and cohort to their TREASURED substances, are kept at bay – I mean far away from their treasured acquisition and substances.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some as the ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING accompanying it accordingly – Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. And in some cases, the defraud to their PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is enormous indeed. some have been betrayed, blackmailed and Some have killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get to the acquisition they want in the high places of doing life and living godly. And all these and more done to acclaim or achieve statuesque and statesmanship without considering the effect to their one’s cherished PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH.

It’s very sad today, some will want to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to keep to statuesque. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus have not been built up to handle, just to show off, keep to pace and or their bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS privately and or secretly.

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7.

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is preserved and protected, you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17.

Its time to take away the VILE from your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH to be use to advance His kingdom cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21).

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way from rot and thieves that are parading in hearts and thoughts and in life.

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING, BUILDING UP AND ENSURING OUR PRECIOUS FAITH!
