DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS

August 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS: IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT BE SORRY OR REGRET OR BE APOLOGETIC – IN SAYING A NO!

“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.

THANKS BUT “NO” THANKS – Is that too hard to say or make sometimes? Yeah – in majority of times especially in sentimental cases when you are not PRINCIPLE in matters of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, you will struggle to say the “NO” needed to keep you safe and free from bondage and entanglement of any sorts and kinds. Many people lives on regrets today for not rising up to the occasion to say a big honest “NO” and save their day and days ahead of time. Thus, meaning, YOU CAN FALL FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, when you don’t have a set PRINCIPLE based on the WORD of God that keeps you RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE and DISCIPLINED, for your self-worth in Christ Jesus stead; especially from the test and tastes of this life that is there to lure one away to an unpleasant and unpalatable position.

James 1:2-8, makes it known and understandable – that to be tempted or tested or tried is not a sin; but to let sentiments and prejudice cause you to give in to that which you are being tempted or tested about, will make and cause you to sin; and that will make you to become a PREY and VICTIM of your circumstances instead of a VICTOR if you’ve made a wise decision. And unfortunately that’s of your own making, for not saying emphatically a “NO”; especially in the knowing that God does not tempt any man to sin – nonetheless to break His WORD for any sentiments and prejudice as enjoined in James 1:13-15.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God CANNOT be tempted with evil, NEITHER tempteth he any man: 14 but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his OWN lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death” James 1:13-15.

As a child of God, if you must be strong and be fortified in life and faith and to stay steadfast in Christ Jesus stead, you must know and understand when to say “NO”. And saying “NO” boldly and means it when your right of ensuring God’s WORD in your life is been violated and legislated by any person, irrespective of the person life stands and status. More especially when there’s a DEMAND to commitments that makes you SMALL or SMALLER or to DERAIL from the truth, than what God has done in you in Christ Jesus; and also, on matters that SUBTRACT you or from you, that DIVIDES you, decreases and limits you; and matters that will not add, multiply and increase you in life and godly living.

Satan may not be everywhere at the same time to place a demand on you in particular, but there are cohorts of Satan outworking in our place of doing life – Home, Church, Shopping Centres, Market Places, Work Places, Business and Governmental Places, Political Places and Contract Signing Places and such like. And that means, as the scripture enjoin that we should be smartly vigilant and sensitive and alert and be guard against the cohorts acts of operandi, otherwise you be PARTAKER of their intent and may become a VICTIM in regret for not saying the “NO” to their suggestions instead of the “YES” you gave by word or actioned in kind.

“Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

An emboldened PRINCIPLE must be upheld in our day to day life in this world in order to say a “NO” to cohorts intent, otherwise you will live a life of fear, intimidation, guilt, shame, inferiority and regret for not saying the needed “NO” to the divers lustful temptations that appears before you now and then – James 1:13-15; James 4:1-3; Proverbs 4:23. And there’s an enabling grace within you to say “NO” in the light of the scripture of Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

Being EMBOLDENED to say “NO” when it MATTERS, it’s an attributes of God’s grace in you. It saves you from troubles and all forms of regrets; and then heals, delivers, secures, directs, strengthens, equips, empowers; and it does many more such like attributes of graciousnesss and gracefulness for your goodness, in one’s act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s time not to fall traps of sentiments that the ENEMY and COHORTS in their crafty act, will use to lure you out of FAITH through FEARS, INTIMIDATION and the like, into things you know very well, that you will not normally say “YES” to, and which in world of God’s knowledge deserves a big fat answer that spells “NO” at any time and at such moment of presentation before you – knowingly and unknowingly.

Therefore I say to you:

DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS – IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT BE SORRY OR REGRET OR APOLOGETIC – IN SAYING A “NO” TO ANY – NO MATTER THEIR STANDS AND STATUS IN LIFE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should TEACH. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘YES’ BE ‘YES,’ AND YOUR ‘NO,’ ‘NO.’ For whatever is more than these is from the EVIL ONE” Matthew 5:34-37 (NKJV)

“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “YES” BE “YES,” AND YOUR “NO,” “NO,” lest you fall into judgment” James 5:12 (NKJV).

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—WAS NOT YES AND NO, BUT IN HIM WAS YES. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YES, AND IN HIM AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22 (NKJV).

“No temptation has OVERTAKEN you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV).

And for you to rule and reign in the kingdom cause of our God, you Need To Be ESTABLISHED IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS Of God which is in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“It is an abomination to KINGS to commit wickedness: FOR THE THRONE IS ESTABLISHED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS” Proverbs 16:12.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION

August 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU

August 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU: TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN POSSIBILITY!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

Have you ever wondered why our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, made this scriptural context statement in the Gospel of Mark 2:22, while in humanity?

“And no man putteth NEW WINE into OLD BOTTLES: else the NEW WINE doth burst the BOTTLES, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but NEW WINE must be put into NEW BOTTLES” Mark 2:22.

Just to updates your knowledge if you don’t know as some have reasoned. It must be noted that in our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus’s day in humanity, people used animal skins-like goatskin for storing liquids. And fermented drinks like wine expands, and since an OLD WINESKIN would’ve already been stretched to its limit, the NEW WINE would tear the seams. It’s thus means that an OLD WINESKIN (OLD BOTTLE) will not stretch, yield, and respond to the gas pressure developed by the fermenting wine; and because the OLD BOTTLE will not stretch, it will just explode – which means, that both the OLD BOTTLE and WINE will be ruined and lost eventually. That’s a pure reason why a NEW WINE needs to be put into NEW BOTTLES. And when a NEW WINE is put into NEW WINESKINS (NEW BOTTLES), both are preserved and nothing can be ruined and lost in course of time of use.

Also, the essence of the OLD WINE in a NEW BOTTLE is an idiomatic expression in context. It’s indicating and reflecting an OLD existing concept or institution is being offered and applied to be accepted as though it were still good, even when it’s not relevant and applicable in the NEW context. And thus, people who goes accepting and following such concept, are held in bondages and dogmas due to ignorance – the lack of the knowledge and understanding, of the truth – and the TRUTH being of the fact expression on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, and for which Christ Jesus is both THE WORD and THE TRUTH.

“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 8:39-32

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

And there are two things that are very cleared to me in this concept and context above that I will expatiate in details in the future posts which are these:

*1. The continuous use of the Old Testament context, that’s already done away with, to legislate and justify things being practice to make it appears as if it’s still tangible and relevant for the now, when that ought not to be accommodated and accepted at all, knowing in REDEMPTION that Christ Jesus had already fulfilled such context for the saints (Believer’s of God) in His stead. [John 1:45; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 12:2; Romans 10:1-4; Matthew 22:38-46; Matthew 16:13-20].

*2. Another thought thus indicate that the New Wine – who is the Blessed Holy Spirit, is ONLY and PURELY meant and made available to the Believer’s (New Creation) in Christ Jesus and not given to the world (unbelieving one’s toward God and Christ Jesus) – Acts 20:20-21. This thus means that SALVATION access is the only opportunity available to all in the world and not the Holy Spirit. And receiving the Holy Spirit is only made possible after one had received the Salvation gospel in Christ Jesus, and anything else otherwise it’s perversion, counterfeit, adulteration delusions and falsehoods. [John 14:15-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-11; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:1-13; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]

The New Wine speaks of the Holy Spirit; and besides being a Godhead in trinity, and to lead the Believer’s in Christ Jesus in all through humanity, He’s also given to gladden the hearts of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead. Hence part of His characteristics is the believing ones comforter – if you recall that in the scripture, that Christ Jesus did promised and assured the Believer’s in Him of sending them the promised comforter. He called Him the promised of the Father; and that promised had already been fulfilled and available for all to access after salvation without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) and of course irrespective. [John 14:15-17; Romans 5:5; Psalms 104:15; Joel 2:19, 28-29]

The earliest Apostle’s of our Lord Jesus Christ where made to assembled by the instructions given to them by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as in the context of Acts 1:5, 8. This is in order for them to received the promise of the Father God in Joel 2:19, 28-29 and not limited, as emphasis by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus in John 7:37-39 and Luke 24:49. This is in respect and pertaining to receiving the Holy Spirit baptism.

And as they obeyed that instructions as they were fully told, it eventually came to pass as written in Acts 2:1-13, that they eventually received the promised of God to them; which is to all till this day until the Lord returns to all, who will believe on the saving grace in Christ Jesus stead. Those who observed and witnessed the Apostles in this uniquely and blessed manifestation which is attributed to a PENTECOST experience, call the Apostles in the acts and experiences, as a people drunk with a NEW WINE. And of course, they were drunk indeed with a NEW WINE – The HOLY SPIRIT of promise.

It’s upon such uniqueness that Apostle Paul draw out a comparison to the drunkenness effect that people do experience from an ordinary WINE while he admonishes the Ephesians Church to see the need to be also drunk rather with the Holy Spirit in order to have the otherwise contrary results from a mere drunkenness as explained in the context as it’s written:

“. . . 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are FULL of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“And be not DRUNK WITH WINE, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING and making MELODY in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the fear of God” Ephesians 5:18-21.

To being filled with the NEW WINE, the Holy Spirit, requires a NEW YOU, a NEW CREATION body to dwell therein. Otherwise, it’s like putting the NEW WINE in an OLD BOTTLE – the OLD YOU, which is the unregenerate life, unconverted life and unrepentant life. The Holy Spirit of TRUTH is only set aside for the believing ones of God in Christ Jesus stead and not for those in the world that have not believe in the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to THE JEWS, and also to THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

I welcome you now to make yourself available to God in Christ Jesus, to become a New Creation in order to access the New Wine that will make all the difference in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, IF ANY MAN THIRST, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that BELIEVETH on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE: for the Holy Ghost was NOT YET GIVEN; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, THESE MEN ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

“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 . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and TRUTH” John 1:1-5, 14.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

Knowing this, that your secret, innermost path will define or show you up one day; and the beauty and shining light you desire of yourself today is embedded, made and defined already by the secret path of yesterday.

You can start afresh again if you failed yesterday, don’t give up for any reason at all. For God is able in Christ Jesus stead to make it all well for you again in all matters of doing life and living godly.

ORDER YOUR STEP ALRIGHT: YOU WILL AUGUST YOU LIF ALRIGHT!

“The STEPS of a good man are ORDERED by the Lord: and he DELIGHTETH in his WAY. 24 Though he FALL, he shall not be UTTERLY cast down: for the Lord UPHOLDETH him with his hand” Psalm 37:23-24.

When you order your step path alright, you can never miss out in your journey or your destination. For you are the custodian of your well-being in Christ Jesus. Nobody has right into your life and well-being except you give them the right – the permission – into it.

Every step of faith you act upon defines your next level, so order your step alright because your today and tomorrow depends on it. Divinity will always intervene for the good of a well ordered step. Romans 8:28-30.

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE: YOU WILL THEN STAND IN THE PLACE OF HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY, OPPORTUNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29.

You are a PRODUCT of your life PATH. It’s not the end that justify the means as popularly said, but in essence, in life and in the kingdom of God principles, it’s the PATH that defines your eventual outcome.

You tomorrow is a product of your today. Your DILIGENCE PATH in your TODAY will surely evolve the KING in you for today and TOMORROW. So THINK and AUGUST your life rightly in grace and godliness.

God rewards DILIGENCE. Make it your footsteps and footprints to greatness. Keep at bay the MEAN – OBSCURED and UNPRODUCTIVE life game.

AFD AUGUST 2023 EDITION

August 1, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST 2023: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” – ON YOUR NEW DAWN IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“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.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that’s it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20 but not limited.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios but you have some and can testifies to it of that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore , it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to steppingstones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and

circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprisoned himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted WINE, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have NO WINE. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If Any Man Thirst, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

THE PATH OF LIFE

July 31, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

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

“. . . 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.

“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.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

July 29, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FORE-Telling and FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because, you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGER with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same, meaning are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister To God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD where BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God don’t live His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptized and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass of any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results is to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seems to be EXAMINE indicates erroneous, ignorance, proud, rude, self egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINE in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHET’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of been not an adent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13), and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practice, because it’s unbiblical and unscriptural, they results to FORTUNE TELL (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.
