WORTH PONDERING – THE LOVE OF MONEY

July 30, 2014 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WORTH PONDERING – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND SIDE EFFECTS!

MONEY (Finance) is a De FACTO medium of exchange. And on its merit, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is “THE LOVE OF MONEY” that is the ROOT of ALL EVIL. Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence in life, when wisely and prudently expended.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some causes or side effects. Here are three warning signs in order not to be in a position of being captivated by – THE LOVE OF MONEY:

#1. IT CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments if the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point – Ecclesiastes 5:12 “The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach (greed) of the rich [who hungers for even more] will not let him sleep” (Amplified).

#2. IT CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breed greediness and covetousness – Ecclesiastes 5:10 “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness)” (Amplified).

#3. IT CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of rules, even the law in order to get and acquire more at any cost – Proverbs 28:20, 22 “A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished . . . 22 He who has an evil and envious eye hurries to be rich and does not know that poverty will come upon him” (Amplified).

Money is good when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable and incomprehensible. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENT and LIVE GODLY, and to keep temptation at bay. For GAIN is not GODLINESS but GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is a great gain the Scriptures enjoin.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at – the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order to yourself, family and the community and nation you service.

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM giveth life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Wisdom along with an inheritance is good and an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a protection even as MONEY is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that WISDOM shields and preserves the lives of its possessors” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 (Amplified).

“. . . 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, AND TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

FurtherScripturalReading: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12; 1 Timothy 5:8.

HINDS FEET FOR HIGH PLACES

November 20, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HINDS FEET FOR HIGH PLACES: GOD IS – THE GOOD, THE GREAT AND THE CHIEF SHEPHERD – IN EVERY WAY!

“It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms” Psalms 18:32-34.

Know for certainly, the GOOD, GREAT and CHIEF Shepherd is our God in Christ Jesus; and He watches over us in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. He girds us with His strength, He makes our way complete in the grace; and He teaches our hands to war a good warfare in victory; and He makes our feet like hinds feet to climb to the mountain tops and sets us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US SIT together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-6.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE” 1 Timothy 1:18.

To ensure and to be assured of God’s goodness and BLESSEDNESS in the grace wherein we stand by faith, herein are the written SCRIPTURES in context of our GOOD, GREAT and CHIEF Shepherd, in the Holy Writ for your perusal:

The GOOD Shepherd:

“I am the GOOD shepherd: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .” John 10:11-18.

The GREAT Shepherd:

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

The CHIEF Shepherd:

“And when the CHIEF Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:4.

And when you know that the Good Shepherd, the Great Shepherd and the Chief Shepherd is on your side of doing Life and living godly, you need not fear but to stand with your head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith as the deer on hinds feet for high places, with the Shepherd songs of David as written in the Holy writ of Psalms 23.

May you be Blessed in this grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT:

“The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.

2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.

3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.

4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.

6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place” Psalms 23:1-6/Amplified Classic Edition.

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

November 20, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

“I THANK my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy faith may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“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 14:16-17.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and its EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every place in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.

” But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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 5:4-5.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“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.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

November 20, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the WILL of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:1

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The knowing that GOD IS FAITHFUL and we need to live FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD Him, is a gracious and graceful place and position to be in Christ Jesus stead; but that’s not complimentary enough until we actualised our life, by being FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD men. THERE’S THE NEED TODAY TO LIVE FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN; more so, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.

It does mean, that we can’t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL life’s toward those who OVERSEES our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. It is a dangerous place to take when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you know that you’ve inclined your spiritual mentorship in leadership toward, irrespective of any circumstance.

Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks FREEDOM in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries and precautionary measures. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25), as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE thyself in the HOUSE of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the TRUTH” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men in respect [Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9]. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6].

He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God’s heritage, in order to present them perfect – complete, whole – as one that’s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel [Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24].

However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of – RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God’s heritage and precious people for their spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men without sentiment, prejudice, dissimulation and irrespective.

Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:

** Tychicus – (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellow servant in the Lord) – Colossians 4:7-8; Ephesians 6:21-22.

** Onesimus – (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) – Colossians 4:9.

** Epaphras – (A Dear Fellowservant and FAITHFUL Minister) – Colossians 1:7.

** Timotheus – (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) – 1 Corinthians 4:17.

** Lydia – (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord) Acts 16:14-16.

** Silvanus – (A FAITHFUL Brother) – 1 Peter 5:12.

There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as Ephesians 1:1 will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus. The essence of these mentioned, is to indicate that our being FAITHFUL is not only TOWARD God, but also TOWARD men – especially those who are place of God to OVERSEE your spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. They have a responsibility and accountability in principle to ensure they bestow and commit Kingdom Ministerial work only to the FAITHFUL Brethren – 2 Timothy 2:1-3; for not all in the house of God have FAITH or rather are endeavouring to live FAITHFUL to the CAUSE of God and toward men – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Obey them that have the RULE over you, and SUBMIT yourselves: for they WATCH for your souls, as they that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” Hebrews 13:17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” 1 Corinthians 4:1-3.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

November 19, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS PRACTICABLE AND APPLICABLE!

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

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

God is FAITHFUL! And He’s not just FAITHFUL in His NATURE, but requires every of His children that will do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, to be FAITHFUL in everyway in the cause of time as He is – AN EVER PRESENT TENSE IN HIS FAITHFULNESS. If this is not possible in His grace, He will not require it of us in His enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as also in these but not limited Holy writs:

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE is FAITHFUL that PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

May I also say that in life, some are set to LEAD in a CAUSE while some are set to ASSIST – that is, to HELP/SUPPORT the person assigned to LEAD in order to THRIVE and ACHIEVE the together, the common and mutual goal. Meaning, while some are EMPLOYERS (Leaders), some others are EMPLOYEES (Helpers) in such given common ground framework. Note that in the Kingdom, neither the HELPER/SUPPORT or the LEADER in such privileged and opportune CAUSE, are less a being at ALL to each other, in all the way of doing life and living godly – for it’s all a matter of individual RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of God to all. You can mirror it in the CAUSES of doing life in any of THESE:

** Family Life

** Marriage

** Business

** Enterprise

** Government and Governance

** Gospel Ministry

** Community or Private Organisation

** Social or Charitable Cause

** Local/National or International Obligations

** . . . and many such like . . .

And in each applicable and application of life and godly matters, God expect each one as in the wisdom of King David as in the Holy writ of 1 Samuel 30:24, to have a fair share ALIKE in the good and outcome of any or such endeavours in pursuit.

“For who will HEARKEN unto you in this matter? but AS HIS PART IS THAT GOETH DOWN TO THE BATTLE, SO SHALL HIS PART BE THAT TARRIETH BY THE STUFF: THEY SHALL PART ALIKE” 1 Samuel 30:24 (1-24).

Unfortunately, many today are oppressed, denied and marginalised of their fair rights and privileges in cause of time, even to their basic entitlement of doing life and living godly. While on the other hands, some are fighting and heating up smoke to enable them gain rights to fair share at no cost, contribution or giving a helping hand at all. These INDIFFERENCE on both sides or ends OUGHT not to be in any place where FAITHFULNESS is a requirement, and to manage the RESOURCES that pertains to all. For the EARTH is the LORD’S, the FULNESS thereof, the world and all who DWELL therein. And Believer’s in Christ Jesus are all CALLED to share in the INHERITANCE of God in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, knowing that the EARTH is the lord’s and all the resources in used, and FAITHFULNESS is required to be a STEWARD of His grace and BLESSEDNESS, it’s NEEDFUL for me to show some APPLICABLE areas in this light, however not limited on the need to be FAITHFUL as in THESE:

Be A FAITHFUL Employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be FAITHFUL. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.
Be A FAITHFUL Employer – Look WELL after your staff in whatever the business/Enterprise. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.
Be FAITHFUL In Any Relationships -This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society. Luke 16:1-13; 1 Peter 3:1-12; Ephesians 4:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.
Being FAITHFUL In The Kingdom Business – As a Gospel Minister, Pastor, Ministry Worker in Leadership or not etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is not negotiable and it’s a basic prerequisite to achieving desired Kingdom causes with God in Christ Jesus stead. Luke 1:49; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).
Being FAITHFUL In Marital Relationship – In Marriage one cannot afford to be UNFAITHFUL and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12; 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; Hebrews 13:1-6.
Being FAITHFUL In Parenting – Faithfulness is also vital requirements of God in a parent/child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6.
Being FAITHFUL in Friendship – Faithfulness in friendships is NEEDFUL in our daily life support. Not necessarily when in trouble times only, but in good times to ascertain STRENGHT in our relationship in course of time. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.

May I say again that there are many other applicable ways in the light of the Holy Scriptures wherein FAITHFULNESS and being FAITHFUL is required of you – do search the Scriptures.

I plead to you in Jesus Christ stead to do life and live godly by being FAITHFUL; for our stewardship as expected to be trustworthy custodian of God’s resources on EARTH in the utilisation, will be question and challenge one day, based on FAITHFULNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 3:17.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is UNJUST in the least is UNJUST also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will commit to your TRUST the TRUE riches? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall GIVE you that which is your own? 13 No SERVANT can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL) to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS?” Luke 1:49

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

“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.

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE

November 18, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE: IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO ARISE AND BE ON GOD’S KINGDOM CAUSE!

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE” Job 5:12.

The lawful captives shall be FREE from evil and from the evil one. The ENTERPRISE of the evil one must be brought down to end it’s evil and wickedness everywhere – in high and low places. And God has promised as part of His WILL, to DELIVER the righteous from the bondage of the evil and wicked that’s at work to do EVIL and WICKEDNESS in the world’s about us. Deliverance and wholeness is possible with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“Shall the PREY be TAKEN from the MIGHTY, Or the CAPTIVES of the RIGHTEOUS be DELIVERED? 25 But thus says the Lord: “Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN away, And the PREY of the TERRIBLE be DELIVERED; For I will CONTEND with him who CONTENDS with you, And I will save your children. 26 I will FEED those who OPPRESS you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

And it’s not by human power, not by human might but by God’s Spirit in and through His Church in Christ Jesus stead. This is possible, simply because we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the the higher places; more so, the weapons of our warfare are not man made and crafted – meaning, it’s not limited by geographical location; and it’s efficiency is unparalleled and unmatchable to it’s effect in pulling down of the strongholds of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and in the bringing down of all things under subjection and subjugation, to the OBEDIENCE of God’s word in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This is as written:

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/AMPLIFIED.

Therefore, Church ARISE from all fear phobias, awake to your place of leadership and direction of travel, in advancing the kingdom cause of our God, thereby keeping the enemy and cohort at bay.

You are the Church that God is building – not the building. And the gates of hades cannot prevail even it’s crafting, counterfeiting, adulteration and masquerading. For God is not calling us to a structural building but He is building His Church which is you to take on the forces of darkness that’s long gone defeated and crippled for us in Christ Jesus redemption deed off victory, triumph, and such like [Matthew 16:13-20; Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV, Colossians 2:14-15; Galatians 3:13-14; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:3-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:24].

As we ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in God by Christ Jesus, we should be assured and emboldened to be on God’s KINGDOM CAUSE. For it’s high time for the church to arise and be on God’s kingdom cause in order to be kingdom relevant as Christ Jesus was in humanity.

“You men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED out and SHOWN forth and COMMENDED and ATTESTED to you by God by the MIGHTY WORKS and [the POWER of performing] wonders and signs which God worked through Him [right] in your midst, as you yourselves know” Acts 2:22 AMPLIFIED.

Jesus Christ in humanity, followed the Father God kingdom cause and purpose for Him intentionally and unreservedly; the Father God APPROVED and ACCREDITED Him though He was a Son – Hebrews 5:1-10. I therefore as you – Will you let God approve and accredit you as 2 Timothy 2:15 in order to be relevant to His kingdom cause and purpose? Will you do what God requires you to do? SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE. 13 He taketh the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG. 14 They meet with DARKNESS in the DAYTIME, and GROPE in the NOONDAY as in the NIGHT. 15 But he SAVETH the poor from the SWORD, from their MOUTH, and from the HAND of the MIGHTY. 16 So the POOR hath HOPE, and iniquity STOPPETH her mouth” Job 5:12-16.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 7 Who art THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME a PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:6–7.

“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.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

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

“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.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye are all the CHILDREN of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand AGAINST the WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, against powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having DONE ALL, to STAND. 14 STAND therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET shod with the PREPARATION of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and the SWORD of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all PERSEVERANCE and SUPPLICATION for all saints” Ephesians 6:10-18.

“Behold, they shall SURELY gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together AGAINST thee shall FALL for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have created the smith that BLOWETH the COALS in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have CREATED the WASTER to DESTROY. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall RISE against thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the CHARGE of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that DIED, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the RIGHT HAND of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 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 8:31-39.
