OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: AND I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND!

“. . . 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land . . .” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

Our God of the heavens and the earth and beneath the earth, that rules and reigns in domain of mankind, is in the full business of wholeness for His people and to as many as are willing and determined in obedience without prejudice to turn toward Him by FAITH in Christ Jesus, through His WORD by the Holy Spirit – who is at work to ENSURE and ASSURE that the whole default of God for the New Creation in Christ Jesus are in wholeness, completeness, fulness, and perfectness irrespective. This is why to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” concept it’s eminent in our unstable world at all levels today.

For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS, and will only EMPOWERS only on His given PURPOSE/CAUSE and will only ENSURE what He ASSURED to either an individual or a people toward a nation; and to bring about the healing and prosperity so much desired at any given generation or dispensation to ensure peace and tranquility without prejudice. And the best positioning to ENSURE and ASSURE that God’s intent is at work it’s when His chosen people take to the stand concept to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – make a literal obedience as He has instructed in Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

For God’s commands, assignments, orders, instructions and such like, are not an advice but a default demand in love to enable Him have the leverage to act on our behalf – in all matters that pertains to life (doing life) and godliness (living godly), in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, concerning us.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, OVERBEARING]” 1 John 5:3.

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE [DOING LIFE] and GODLINESS [LIVING GODLY], through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be Partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the CORRUPTION that is in the WORLD through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

Think of Jonah for an example, who was given an instruction and assignment of a specific command to carry out in order to save and bring about the healing and health of the nation of Nineveh. He took God’s instructions and order for granted as if it’s an advice, and nearly paid for it with his own life. How opportune he was for a second chance, because not all can have such levels of mercies that he received from God to then obey the given instructions again – this is after he took to the sea hide outs that vomited him to the shore probably thinking he can outsmart God, or God is only of the heavens and the earth and not of the beneath the earth – as many are repeating today.

“Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 ARISE, GO to Nineveh, that great city, and CRY against it; for their WICKEDNESS is come up before me. 3 But Jonah ROSE UP TO FLEE unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord” Jonah 1:1-3.

The scriptural context of 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, thus indicates God’s good intent to heal the land/nation of His people; His instructions in the scriptural context, is in order to make His people a vehicle in the change to make whole and to prosper their land/nation accordingly; and God was plain to layout there the default clauses to follow which invariably lies in the hands of His chosen people, the Church of God to literally do – to act upon. For God’s people are chosen people, designed with the default to bring about the reality and tangibility that the world craves to have pending the second coming of Christ Jesus, the Saviour and Lord. 1 Peter 2:9-10; Deuteronomy 7:6. It’s by this willingness of the Chosen People to take their position to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate and assignment, that will bring about the genuine peace and healing of our nation’s and our land for prosperity.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth . . .” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born again Believer’s that are Spirit-filled and are govern exclusively by the WORD of God, under the leadership of a Shepherd who is under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And each time God wants to make a major change and shift on earth, He works along with His people – who are the chosen generation, the peculiar people, the royal priesthood. And it’s up to His chosen people to let God’s instructions be for victory and triumph, or to keep playing around with God’s mandate as Jonah of Nineveh did, by taking God’s instructions for an advice to be obeyed or thrown into the trash. Such obscured decision to undermine God’s decision can only obstruct their own happiness and prosperity and the healing of the the land and nation that are there as their dwelling places. Psalms 33:12 tells how much God is relying on the people for their own healing.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

God’s intervention to any nation wholeness lies upon the Church readiness and willingness as God’s chosen people to be obedient and to act along the scriptural context that addresses of the nation ills as it affects them accordingly. For salvation and healing will always first begin within God’s chosen people to avoid them suffering while others are enjoying the fulness of God.

So, how ready are you today, even now to take the challenge to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, instead of thinking it’s someone else responsibility and accountability and not yours. It’s time to be principled and intentional to take your place of stand with God SCRIPTURALLY and not giving excuses and making it someone else’s – for you are God’s OWN, God CHOSEN to show forth His PRAISES of goodness through you for the good of others until Christ Jesus returns while you have your time to do your part in the wholeness of individual, local and national ills

It’s my utmost PRAYERS for you to find your place and fulfil PURPOSE by the empowering and endorsement of God upon your life as His chosen one and not as the runner – Jonah of Nineveh.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST

October 16, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You knowingly LOVE And WASH The Feet Of The BLACK SHEEP Staff/Family Among You!

Only by God’s kind of LOVE – Agape, can one be calm and at peace, dine and wash the feet of the one you know so well had betrayed you to your enemies. Jesus loves all unto the end – for only LOVE can thrive in the midst of fears, hatred and wickedness. 1 John 4:17-18. Love is the ONLY invincible trap, which I call – LOVE SET TRAP – to send your traitors, conspirators, betrayers and blackmailers and such like to their own night of DARKNESS – effortless and without stress. Hence our REDEMPTION is perfectly GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL in the power of God’s LOVE.

Love was the trap set to get the DEVIL and COHORTS to enhance our REDEMPTION. Jesus loves all to the end. While he was LOVING His own, SATAN and COHORTS – Judas Iscariot, were at work, not knowing that it’s the Father God gate way and set traps to bring redemption into reality. Satan entered Judas, he made himself a VESSEL OF OFFENCE even in the midst of Christ Jesus offering and devoting love and sacrifice of service to them all as living examples to follow as His DISCIPLES.

LOVE IS AND WAS AT ITS BEST, When God in Christ Jesus, knowingly LOVE and WASH THE FEET OF THE BLACK SHEEP STAFF/FAMILY AMONG HIS DISCIPLES – That’s Incredible!

It’s WORTH noting that LOVE is a double edge sword and it’s the only blow that satan and cohorts can’t DECIPHER when it matters. God’s final blow that’s indescribable and incomprehensible and impenetrable.

LOVE was God’s SET TRAP to make our REDEMPTION a reality and to give unprecedented silencing and unforgettable blow to SATAN and COHORTS. It’s time to make your FAITH effectual through LOVE – Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNEW: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:8.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and HATH NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that OFFENCES WILL COME: but WOE unto him, through WHOM they come!” Luke 17:1.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, NOR uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

“Now before the FEAST OF THE PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, HE LOVED THEM UNTO THE END. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 4 HE RISETH FROM SUPPER, AND LAID ASIDE HIS GARMENTS; AND TOOK A TOWEL, AND GIRDED HIMSELF. 5 AFTER THAT HE POURETH WATER INTO A BASON, AND BEGAN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES’ FEET, AND TO WIPE THEM WITH THE TOWEL WHEREWITH HE WAS GIRDED. 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, BUT NOT ALL. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 IF I THEN, YOUR LORD AND MASTER, HAVE WASHED YOUR FEET; YE ALSO OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. AND WHEN HE HAD DIPPED THE SOP, HE GAVE IT TO JUDAS ISCARIOT, THE SON OF SIMON. 27 AND AFTER THE SOP SATAN ENTERED INTO HIM. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 HE THEN HAVING RECEIVED THE SOP WENT IMMEDIATELY OUT: AND IT WAS NIGHT. 31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him” John 13:1-32.

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR

October 15, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR: ARE IN THE FAITH WITHIN YOU!

“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.

The true BEAUTY and COLOUR is in the FAITH you STAND upon WITHIN you in God. Meaning, what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you BE in Him. It’s the most awesome acknowledgment that can transform you for all eternity. It makes you take a stand and communicate your FAITH in God without doubts, shame, inferiority complex, phobia, dispute and any form of human reasoning and philosophy. I found it so, hence, I am emboldened to say so, as it’s written:

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

You are God MADE – a more than what a MAKE UP classification can MAKE you be. BEAUTY and COLOUR is of God, but let Your COLOUR AND BEAUTY be in Christ Jesus Stead. Let it be from your FAITH WITHIN and not from the mere OUTWARD DECORATION, COLOURING And BEAUTIFYING. Meaning, let the reckoning of who you ARE and BECOME, be TREASURED of the enabling BEAUTY AND COLOUR that’s being generated within you, such that when the OUTWARD is no more there, there’s no DIFFERENCE or INDIFFERENCE about you.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

A mere physical BEAUTY and COLOUR is good, gracious, graceful, lovely and sweet, romantic and more as in – Song of Solomon 7:1-13; but will fade and weathered out with time as flower and grass just as most have come and gone with their glamour and celebrity applaud – Isaiah 40:6-8 and 1 Peter 1:24-25. Let the DEFINITION of your BEAUTY and COLOUR be drawn in LIFE and GRACE as given to ladies – the female folks especially and all afterwards – in the light of the Holy Writ Scriptures, on the how to showcase the ESSENCE of Christ Jesus in them – 1 Timothy 2:8-10 and 1 Peter 3:1-12.

I know some religious and traditional people can only remember direct quote of the proverbial that BEAUTY is VAIN in context (Proverbs 31:30), without UNDERSTANDING the context and more, so forgetting that God Himself, the creator of all things known and unknown, made ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL in His creative TIMELESS timeline realm of His BLESSEDNESS – Ecclesiastes 3:11. May it be noted also, that the feet, pathway, walkway and life spring of those who proclaim the GOSPEL of peace – which is of God in Christ Jesus, are BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL, lovely, gracious and graceful (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).

You ARE God Made into His BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL world of BLESSEDNESS, which is ONLY possible in Christ Jesus, irrespective of your circumstances, situations and classification. Only let it be resolved in you that God does loves and cares about you in everyway in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING. 9 In LIKE MANNER also, that women ADORN (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, IF ANY OBEY NOT THE WORD, they also may WITHOUT THE WORD BE WON by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) coupled with fear (REVERENCE). 3 Whose ADORNING (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) let it not be that OUTWARD ADORNING (DECORATION, BEAUTIFYING, COLOURING) of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE. 5 For AFTER THIS MANNER in the old time the HOLY WOMEN also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR), being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, CALLING him lord: WHOSE DAUGHTERS YE ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any AMAZEMENT. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, GIVING HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE LIFE, AND SEE GOOD DAYS, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his lips that they SPEAK no guile: 11 let him ESCHEW evil, and DO good; let him SEEK peace, and ENSUE it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/ Amplified.

“For all things ARE for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION

October 15, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. 2 Timothy 3:10-12 (Amplified). Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30.

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12 Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30 Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the love of Christ? shall TRIBULATION, or DISTRESS, or PERSECUTION, or FAMINE, or NAKEDNESS, or PERIL, or SWORD? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (for he is faithful that promised;) . . .35 CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:11-16.

Hello CHRISTIAN Men – WORDS Matters

October 14, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Hello CHRISTIAN Men – WORDS Matters: Keep Speaking GRACIOUS WORDS To Your Wife And Other Women THERE In Your Life!

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH; you are TAKEN by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

“And ALL BARE HIM (JESUS CHRIST) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not THIS Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).

Are you a godly hearted man? And if YES, are you speaking gracious WORDS toward others, especially towards your wife and the women about you? Or you are childish loosed mouthed boy-man who speaks some OUTRAGEOUS words to your wife and other women that are out THERE about your life sphere? Have you ever thought that as a man that WORDS MATTERS and any OUTRAGEOUS, DEMEANING and DEROGATORY words are very much unnecessary no matter the level of elemental things that THE she woman must have done? Do you know or realise that you are the CUSTODIAN of what you say – be it good or evil, especially as a Christian man? Do know for sure, that it’s out of the NURSERY and NURSED WORDS in your hearts, that your mouth speaks – be it the good or evil.

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:44-45.

As I picture Jesus Christ this morning and moment, the author and finisher of our FAITH [Hebrews 12:2] in God, I could recall over and over again in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT how He speaks and answers to many matters that would have made Him to have an outburst. The graciousnesss and gracefulness of His choice words calms down matters and send the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of OTHERS about Him. Even at a very temperamental point of testing of His life, He was gracious to the end.

“Hereafter I WILL NOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU: for the PRINCE of this world cometh, and HATH NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and TEMPTING desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven . . .” Matthew 16:1-4 [Mathew 19:3; Matthew 22:35; Mark 8:11; Mark 10:2; Luke 11:16; John 8:6].

“And ALL BARE HIM (JESUS CHRIST) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And THEY SAID, is not THIS Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).

And as one privileged under God to Pastor and Shepherd in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, hearing from women how we men speaks to them, especially our wives and women’s about us in a demeaning and derogatory way is becoming appalling in everyway in every given day. Just because we can’t see eyes to eyes on some COMMON issues, makes me wonder if we sincerely do understand when the scripture says we share the same common enabling grace to do life on earth and live godly toward God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. WORDS MATTERS, hence, every man especially should seek for WISDOM on how and when to speak, especially when addressing your wife or other women.

“WALK in WISDOM toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your SPEECH be alway with GRACE, SEASONED with salt, that ye may KNOW how ye OUGHT to ANSWER every man” Colossians 4:5-6.

More so, it’s wisdom to know and understand especially in separating ISSUES on discuss from the PERSON. THE ISSUES IN DISCUSS AND THE PERSON’S ARE NOT SAME. So when you have conflict in ISSUES, don’t MAKE it into a PERSON’S attacks, simply because the common issue on discuss have not been resolved to a satisfactory desire. May you ALWAYS remember this phrase from today FORWARD in moving toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory:

“SMALL HEARTED MINDS TALKS PERSONS, BIG HEARTED WISE MINDS TALKS ISSUES IN CONTEXT”

It’s not in my place to be specific, but if you think you are a GODLY man that eschew EVIL WORDS from your MOUTH and not a childish boy man that’s opposite, can you be mindful how you speak to your wife and the God given women about your life both in private and public settings for WORDS matters in God’s kingdom affairs.

Therefore, I plead with you today to SPEAK well and WHOLENESS to LIVE well and whole. You can live healthily healthy and whole by your WORDS to self and all about you – male and female – and more especially, to your wife and women within your reach.

Have an awesome and blessed day with GRACIOUS WORDS as Lord Jesus Christ in His stead, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Amen.

“For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, LEAVING us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was GUILE FOUND IN HIS MOUTH: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously” 1 Peter 2:21-23.

“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof. 22 Whoso FINDETH a wife FINDETH a good thing, and OBTAINETH favour of the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22.

” . . . 7 Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL with them ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as BEING HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; THAT YOUR PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE life, and SEE GOOD days, let him REFRAIN HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL, and HIS LIPS that they SPEAK NO GUILE: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is AGAINST them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

“And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a GODLY seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal TREACHEROUSLY against the WIFE of his youth” Malachi 2:15.

“And the TONGUE is a fire, a WORLD of iniquity: so is the TONGUE among our members, that it DEFILETH the whole body, and SETTETH on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 but the TONGUE can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith BLESS we God, even the Father; and therewith CURSE we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same MOUTH proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be” James 3:6-10.

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]

October 13, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]: MAKING THE VICTORY SONGS – HALLELUJAH! HALLELUIA!! ALLELUIA!!!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, BE WEARY, PANIC, BE ANXIOUS)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND . . .” Revelation 8/Emphasis Mine.

PRAYER – is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus avenue of MINISTERING WORTHILY to the Lord in WORSHIP and SERVING Him ACCEPTABLY while SEEKING His HEAVENLY endorsement in our EARTHLY affairs; and it is the believing one’s inescapable and supreme PURPOSE task, toward PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL solutions in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

And there’s nothing as lovely, awesome and amazing in knowing and understanding that your PRAYERS go before God’s throne of GRACE as an INCENSE – a PERFUME, FRAGRANCE and AROMA of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS; and that He BREATHS in your acts of MINISTERING to Him in your WORSHIP and SERVICES in PRAYERS; and the resultant effects are VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and LIGHTNING’S, and an EARTHQUAKE. These METAPHORS indicates how powerful, effectual and awesome results that accompany your PRAYERS to the HEAVENLY for your EARTHLY affairs to be resolved effortless and without sweat.

Therefore – NEVER get tired, burnt out, faint, give up and be wearisome in your PRAYERS. For PRAYER is FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him. THINK about that every time you take any posture of PRAYERS to express in word or and in hearts.

Let the Lord’s name be magnify in your PRAYERS. The Lord is good and His mercies endures for ever more. May His grace and BLESSEDNESS abound the more upon you as you make PRAYERS an inescapable and supreme task to meet the PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL needs of humanity.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they MINISTERED to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had FASTED and PRAYED, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away” Acts 13:1-3.

“Let my PRAYER be set forth before thee as INCENSE; and the LIFTING UP OF MY HANDS as the EVENING SACRIFICE” Psalms 141:2.

“. . . 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. . .” Revelation 8 (Emphasis Mine).

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

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“IS ANY AMONG YOU AFFLICTED? LET HIM PRAY. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; AND LET THEM PRAY OVER HIM, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 AND THE PRAYER OF FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, AND HE PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 AND HE PRAYED AGAIN, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit” James 5:13-18.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – BY THE WORD

October 13, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME – BY THE WORD: THE HOLY B-I-B-L-E [THE BLESSED-INFORMATION-BRINGING-LIFE-ETERNAL] – WILL HELP YOU!

“For whatever was WRITTEN in earlier times was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, so that through ENDURANCE and the ENCOURAGEMENT of the Scriptures we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES” Romans 15:4/Amplified.

The Holy BIBLE – which is the written Word, the testament, the will and the covenant document of God to mankind, is the only place of ‘THE TRUTH’ – that brings truthful information for transformation and the knowledge for deliverance, complete freedom, restoration and emancipation to all, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE YOU FREE” John 8:30-32.

The Holy Bible may seems to be mysterious to some, but is not a MYSTICAL book, but the PRACTICAL book of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. It’s not A TRUTH that you CONJURE, but THE TRUTH that you PRACTICE – in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WISDOM needed to effectively and purposefully accomplish the “Occupy Till I Come” concept, and makes it tangible – real, and materialise, is in THE WORD. And you can’t OCCUPY to overcome the WORLD system by the WORLD, instead you need the Faith system which is a consequence of the WORD that’s powdered by the WISDOM in the WORD to do life and godliness with ease, without sweat and prejudice. For a mere excellency of word does not over but the wisdom of the word helps to live victorious, triumphant, more than conquerors and to be an overcomer in the world – that makes one to fully say I am accomplishing the concept instructed and ordered by the Lord God, to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are CALLED in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let THE WORD of Christ dwell in you richly in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye DO in WORD or DEED, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:15-17.

Unlike every other books ever written or to be written, the HOLY BIBLE which contains the word of God, is not burdensome, irksome, grievous and taskmaster as some claim or acclaimed it to be, but it’s the LIBERATING BOOK for and of complete and wholesome freedom. It’s God’s Holy written documents that both INFORMS and TRANSFORMS the reader and user without prejudice, sentiments and discrimination. And it’s the only written documents whose AUTHOR is ever PRESENT to help one know and understand the content amicably and with ease with NO ADULTERATION and CONFUSION.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments ARE not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR TASKMASTER)” (1 John 5:3).

Every other BOOKS you READ, but the HOLY BIBLE is the only authentic and living BOOK that READS you, knows you, access and sets you free to give inner peace and tranquility at the same time at no cost, on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. And because the WORD of God is not BOUND or leads to bondage, it SETS everyone that comes to it’s request in their quest in faith with freedom from all forms of addiction, bondage and captivity at no charge.

“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND.” (2 Timothy 2:9).

The BIBLE means to me the – (B)BLESSED (I)INFORMATION (B)BRINGING (L)LIFE (E)ETERNAL: I therefore urge and plead to you to earnestly crave to – LOVE IT, READ IT, STUDY IT, MEDITATE ON IT and PRACTICE IT, for your good and you’ll find PEACE and FREEDOM that no man can price and prize you with. Hence, I am COMMENDING it to you right now as a friend, because I know it will ANSWER that QUESTION that still hangs about you. It will CHANGE your life and wellbeing for the good, but you have to primarily READ it for yourself in first-hand in order – to know and understand whatever in context; and to safeguard you from external pervert, adulteration and confusion; and to make it happen for your good and goodness without prejudice.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP, and to GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

I do LOVE the Holy Bible, more and more in each passing moments of READING . . . hence I INTENTIONALLY and DELIBERATELY recommends it now to you. It’s my Highly recommended TRUTH for you – you need to make an effort to READ, KNOW And UNDERSTAND – The HOLY BIBLE. The Author is always present, the Blessed Holy Spirit, to help while you do read and study and meditate upon it to have answers to your quest and experience emancipation at no cost of any sorts as you have faith in Christ Jesus stead. The Holy Bible is an ASSURED book of God’s prophetic WORD without prejudice for the good of all irrespective.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made more certain [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

The Holy Bible – The Holy Writ – The Holy Scripture – The WORD of God – is God’s enabling VOICE for your yesterday, today and tomorrow. READ, SEARCH, PONDER and FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IN IT. I sincerely and highly recommend it to you now, for by the WORD of God, you can live to accomplish the concept – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate that’s sets out there for all Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, to live toward and be fulfilling, purposefully and meaningfully.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – Every grace!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS (WORDS): and his COMMANDMENTS (WORDS) are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I HAVE ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH MORE THAN MY NECESSARY FOOD.” (Job 23:12).

“O HOW LOVE I THY LAW! IT IS MY MEDITATION ALL THE DAY. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING THAN ALL MY TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND MORE THAN THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts.” (Psalms 119:97-100).

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves up on [the foundation of] your MOST HOLY FAITH [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE HIGHER and HIGHER], PRAY in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20 AMPLIFIED.

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

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the WORD OF TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the HEART. 13 neither is there any CREATURE that is not MANIFEST in his sight: but all things are NAKED and OPENED unto the eyes of him with WHOM WE HAVE TO DO” Hebrews 4:12-13.
