YOU ARE OF GOD: And On God’s DEFAULT To Live The GREATER & HIGHER Life!

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.

God’s Eyes ARE On You: Will You Let Him Use You – To Be The ANSWER And Not The QUEST To Human Needs!

God seek for people whose centre place and focus is to HUB around His Plan, Purpose and Pursuit on earth for human kind. He wants to Inspire, Reveal and Empower His Cause on earth through them in order to graciously COLOUR their world for the good of all.

Today, can you RESOLVE in whatever capacity in life you are, be it in – secular, spiritual, public, government, nongovernmental and such likes – to allow God to make you STRONG in His POWER and GRACE for the good of ALL and not for some self-centredness and colleague pleasing.

God wants to HELP – You, your Family, your Community, your Nation and our WORLD; but how can He except when you choose to let Him to be involved for the earnestly desired need about those and things you care about.

God SEEKS for someone who has a REVERENTIAL FEAR of Him to be His VESSEL of use and not an ORNAMENTAL in the swarm of Men’s APPLAUD rather than His APPROVAL. Someone He can make STRONG to accomplish the colourful, meaningful and fulfilling ANSWERS to human QUEST.

It’s your TIME to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in God. I pray you BECOME the dear ANSWER to the QUEST in many hearts today. I sincerely and earnestly pray for you, the enabling of God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in Christ Jesus, Amen.

BE A VESSEL – IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS – TO BE AN ANSWER TO THE HUMAN QUEST – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL

July 9, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

Many times in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD. And that heaven help those who helped themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms they have to help themselves and God can then follow suit in their terms. Really? It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE than that of God – 1 Samuel 15.

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

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

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

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

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrants God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere and learn a lesson from these three wise counts below:

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

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

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

And if these legend Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS. Why are you so obsessed of your life position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class.

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

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

Keep Yourself From IDOLS

July 9, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Keep Yourself From IDOLS: What Is It About IDOLS And ICONS – The Relationship Between IDOLS And ICONS!

I believe in life, there’s the goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people or someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to become what you wants to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus. But to REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly to be above and equal to God, and secondly to loose the essence of your own well being and WORTH, in order to BECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, ignorance and foolishness but bondage, demonic and satanic.

Why so, or such a fuss? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replace God with human’s and things; and some sects hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for self KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions in our worlds and Churches today as Bereän Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity – Acts 17:10-12.

And for these deceptions in IDOLS and ICONS, many have given REVERED and BELIEVED as to what they SAY or DO as the norms or more important to them. And this have influenced our worlds and Churches in many ways. It’s effect has led many to all forms of BELIEVE and bondages with little or no self WORTH anymore except what the adored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly.

Herein is a likely knowhow to their likeness and representations:

** An IDOL is usually from my previous post a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or PERSON, and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it DEPICTS – in power or and essence.

** An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to god, but if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either ways you attributes an essence of praying to gods – which scripturally is demonic and spirits (spiritism).

“For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32 (Amplified).

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:19-21 (Amplified).

JULY2019 – FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects

July 4, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

JULY2019 – FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects: Your Earnest Expectations In REDEMPTION!

There’s no place and room for IDOL and IDOLATORY in the services of God in the Kingdom.

An idol is ANYTHING – person’s and or materials – that takes the place of God in Christ Jesus in our causes on the face of God.

It robs one of the pure and genuine acts to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in LIFE and GODLINESS.

As the redeemed of God, born of the precious blood of Christ Jesus; and made to be a chosen generation, a perculiar people, a royal priesthood and a holy nation; and to offer unto God the marvelous, gracious and graceful acts of worship and service unreservedly with our being – (1 Peter 2:9); it’s imperative that we do not let any man make an idol god out of us nor make an idol god out of any man for whatsoever in LIFE and GODLINESS. For our God is Holy, Just and Jealous over us in all things.

Therefore look within you – in hearts and thoughts, for God searches the hearts, mind and thoughts every man to know if genuinely by His WORD, you are free indeed from idol and idolatry.

You can be FREE today and now.

“And WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 and what agreement hath THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20.

“WE KNOW that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And WE KNOW that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS

June 26, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS: He’s The LIGHT To DISPEL Every Darkness!

LIGHT indicates and signifies the hallmark of Development, Progress, Freedom, Victory, Triumph, Illumination, Enlightenment, Productivity, Fulfilment, Colourful and Meaningful Living and more.

When one gets into the LIGHT that Christ is and provides, and start acting on His WORD in that LIGHT, it’s apparent, one will receive illumination and enlightenment against all forms of DARKNESS as it’s written:’

“Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world; he that follows me shall not WALK in DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of LIFE” – John 8:12.

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

Until one finds light in the light that Lord Jesus Christ is and provides, there can’t be true illumination and enlightenment from darkness.

You are as FREE from any forms of DARKNESS by the illumination and enlightenment you have RECEIVED in you of Christ Jesus, who is the Saviour, Lord and King. Amen.

To HAVE and WALK in Christ Jesus LIGHT is to WALK in His WORD. And when you find the LIGHT of Christ Jesus in you, ‘THAT’ DARKNESS in your – Marriage, Marital Choices, Relationship, Finance, Career, Ministry, Leadership and more – will disperse and dispel with ease by the power and grace in Christ light. And you will know and experience what it means to have a life without sweat, stress, pressure and depression. Christ light indicates God’s favour, wisdom and speed to thrive, succeed, triumph, overcome and win victoriously in His leisure and with meaningful fulfillment.

When you resolved even now, being today, to allow and follow Christ Jesus light, you will never walk in darkness, but His light will illuminates and enlighten every darkness, so that you can see all about you that pertains to doing life and living godly in God’s divine Plan, Purpose and Pursuit in you.

It’s time to COLOUR and RAINBOW your life with the LIGHT that’s in and of Christ Jesus. Be Blessed in Life and Godliness in the LIGHT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE (ILLUMINATION): in thy PRESENCE (LIGHT) is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND (RIGHTEOUSNESS) there are pleasures (FULFILMENT) for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis/Paraphrase Mine)

“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.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS comprehended it not” John 1:1-5

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS, and let us PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying” Romans 13:11-13.

Scriptural UNDERSTANDING For Wisdom

June 22, 2019 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Scriptural UNDERSTANDING For Wisdom: Get The UNDERSTANDING In ALL Your KNOWING!

I have always said, and will always say: “Until You UNDERSTAND What You Claim To KNOW Or To Have KNOWN In Any Matter Of Life And Godliness, You Are Not Better Than The IGNORANT”

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal, without understanding what’s the take on and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes in weather conditions to the set matter.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.

Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day.’

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.

Being a leader in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch.

More so, a lack of understanding will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED understanding makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM – KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING – It’s based on PRINCIPLE, which is GOOD and PROFITABLE and a DEFENCE, GIVING one’s LIFE an ESSENCE!

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY IS COMING

FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY IS COMING: THIS SUNDAY – FATHER’S DAY (UK) LOADING!

Are you a FATHER? Intending To BECOME? Yes You CAN! But know full well that ANY MAN can be a DAD or DADDY, but to be a FATHER, it takes a heartfelt Labour of LOVE, Work of FAITH and Patience of HOPE through Diligence, Services, Sacrifices, Commitments, Dedications, Tolerance, Patience, Goodness, Compassion and many more such likes.

“We give thanks to God ALWAYS for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.

More importantly, being a FATHER it’s about being the VOICE of God in the child or children life’s as the Patriarch Father of Faith (Abraham) was to theirs, as affirmed of God, in God’s eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. As such, being a Father it’s much more than the material, physical, social and emotional provisions and supports, but also involve the gracious and graceful spiritual support in these wise:

1** You are God’s PRIEST to stand in the gap in prayers before God, and to minister to God for family in all things;

2** And as a PROPHET to hear from God on all matters of life and godly living for family;

3** And as a KING to protect and defend your family from the enemy and cohorts against your family good and goods on earth, in Christ stead.

May our God, the Father of all flesh and spirit, Father you to father all that concerns you in Life and GODLINESS.

Have a wonderful & blessed Father’s Day celebration – comes Sunday (UK).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Fathers, do not PROVOKE your children to ANGER [do not exasperate them to the point of resentment with DEMANDS that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by showing favoritism or indifference to any of them], but bring them up [tenderly, with lovingkindness] in the DISCIPLINE and INSTRUCTION of the Lord” Ephesians 6:4 (Amplified).

“Buy the truth and do not sell it— wisdom, instruction and insight as well. 24 THE FATHER OF A RIGHTEOUS CHILD HAS GREAT JOY; A MAN WHO FATHERS A WISE SON REJOICES IN HIM. 25 May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful” Proverbs 23:23-25.

“As a FATHER has COMPASSION on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him” Psalms 103:13.

“For I know him, that he will TEACH and COMMAND his children and household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do what is JUST and RIGHTEOUS that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he has SPOKEN and PROMISED him” (Genesis 18:19).

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heaven and earth is named” Ephesians 3:15-15.

“Fathers, do not PROVOKE or IRRITATE or EXASPERATE your children [with DEMANDS that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference; treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not lose heart and become discouraged or unmotivated [with their spirits broken]” Colossians 3:21 (Amplified).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTING AND AFFECTION CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH!

God Loves And Cares for your total well being.

“Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever” 1 John 2:15-17 (Amplified).

“1-2 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You LUST for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3 You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way. 4-6 You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t CARE? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous LOVER.” And what he gives in LOVE is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble” James 4:1-6 (The Message Bible).

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? 2 You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. 3 And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. 4 You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. 5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? 6 But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. 7 So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” James 4:1-7 (The Living Bible).

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25.
