SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

February 26, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!

There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist hence mistaken, through ignorance, and NEVER experience the POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.

** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution those with him in regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT FOR YOUR THOUGHTS:

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified)

CHOICE – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES On Your Altitude!

February 24, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

CHOICE – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES On Your Altitude!

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

** The lust of the flesh

** The lust of the eyes

** The pride of life!

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within you – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me.

Life is about CHOICE – to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements; which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLINESS. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of these elements in the light of the WORD of God. You are the decided of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under, the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, by the word of God.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man

February 21, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man: Feed the SHEEP of God with KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING!

In this age of multifarious and multi-various MULTIMEDIA – TELEVISION, RADIO and SOCIAL MEDIA platforms and such like – you can read, hear and watch all sorts of INFORMATION. Sometimes you wonder from which pit of hell are some of the stuffs coming from.

In the word of Apostle Paul in the Holy Writ, some people have twisted the Holy Scriptures to appeal to denominational dogmas, creed, traditions and oblations; while some are not fully explained in order to appeal to certain groups of people’s sentiments and bye-laws; and while others are deliberately made to create havoc in the Churches of Christ to appeal to popular opinions; and while there are those who in love are truly committed and dedicated to the cause of the Gospel in Christ Jesus stead, as Apostle Paul will say in all these as enjoined in Philippians 1:15-18.

It’s a high TIME for God’s precious PEOPLE to truly CRAVE for genuine KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s precious WORD of LIFE in all sincerity in the midst of the FALSEHOOD, FAKE NEWS, ADULTERATED and COUNTERFEIT that runs and tends to rule in the various MULTIMEDIA platforms in our today worlds.

THEREFORE I SAY:

** Are You A Believer In Christ Jesus? Do you belong to an Assembly or Denomination where the fellowship of brethren and worship of God in Christ Jesus takes place?

Ensure you steadfastly and steadily BELONG to a Local Assembly where you know and are known of other Brethren; and don’t be a SPIRITUAL HARLOTS running from Church to Church with no steady or stable place to account or count of you as a devotional worshipper with other people of God. It’s good, gracious and graceful for you to ENSURE you have a place you BELONG and you can call THERE – a place you entrust your well-being in SCRIPTURAL TRUTH in Christ Jesus; and is the place where you are FEED with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God in Christ Jesus just as the BEREAN CHRISTIAN’S. Jeremiah 3: 15; Acts 17:10-13. And hopefully, is not a place of gimmicks, philosophy, traditions, dogmas, oblations, creed, bye-laws and trash of what you want to hear even when it’s clear there are unscriptural – for in such atmosphere you will be as guilty as that so called Pastoral whom you can sense Scripturally that he/she has lost it, while you still listen to and desire such error and mistaken preaching and teaching to fill up your void places.

** Are you a GOSPEL Minister to the congregation of God’s precious people?

Ensure you FEED them to the KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING of our God in doing life on earth for good, while heavenly mindful; and as a goodwill Minister of grace and Pastoral Shepherd of God’s precious people – and Not A Story Teller, Dubious, Cunning, Crafty Manipulator and or as a Extortionate.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the congregation, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.” Numbers 27:16-17.

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA. When they arrived, they went into the SYNAGOGUE of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES DAILY to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED, and also not a few of the Greeks, PROMINENT women as well as men” Acts 17:10-12.

“SOME indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and SOME also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

GOOD SUCCESS And FULFILMENT

February 18, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOOD SUCCESS And FULFILMENT: Possible Through DILIGENT MEDITATION In The WORD

It is one thing to have success or be successful by whatever factor of measure, but it’s another thing to be fulfilled in that SUCCESS. And Success without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, the inner peace and tranquility that nothing else can satisfy but God.

There is Success and there is Good Success. It’s okay to have success or be successful; but to have God’s kind, which is of good Success, there is the path to follow. The good Success which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this difference that makes some claims to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity and unimaginable vices as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION in His WORD.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD that overshadow one’s being in that SUCCESS. For INNER peace and tranquility is of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive. Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act or and end. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings; he shall not STAND before mean men” Proverbs 22:29.

You Are God’s Battle Axe – FEAR NOT

February 18, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

You Are God’s Battle Axe – FEAR NOT: Your FREEDOM & OVERCOMING In Christ Jesus Is A Done Deed!

Fear is the enemy and cohorts assigned policing factor to make any captive long before it MAKES any a prey and victim. Hence, we mustn’t welcome or entertain any act of fear or fear phobia’s around us in words or deeds. We are born of God in Christ Jesus to be emboldened and not to live, work and walk along doing life and living godly in the spirit of fear. Know for certainly, that where fear exist, God is not there and faith doesn’t exist.

Fear breeds torments, shame, brokenness and intimidation. It robs one of vision, guidance, confidence, assurance, health and such like the more.

Fear can cripple one’s joy, happiness and success when not checked by love and faith in the hope of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. For our genuine freedom from fear is our FAITH on the done work of Christ for us in REDEMPTION.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

There are over 365 fear not in the Scriptures to keep you through the 365/366 days in a normal and leap year. But you have to step out in FAITH in the done work of God in Christ Jesus, to OVERCOME fear and the fear phobia’s.

You need to be emboldened in Christ Jesus stead today, by dusting off the spirit of cowardice and intimidation; and then raise your head up, shoulders high and then put on the high heels of FAITH to take on the enemy and cohorts policing factor called FEAR with your FAITH, when it shows up in your PATH of doing life and living godly. For you are God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War.

May you come to know and ensure, that God by Christ Jesus, have DELIVERED you from the grip and power of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and TRANSLATED and POSITIONED you in His emboldened Kingdom of PEACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JOY in the Holy Ghost. Amen.

“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).

“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.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.
