SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

IDOLS are ANYTHING but NOTHING – For in Christ Jesus WE ARE JUSTIFIED and WE HAVE ACCESS by FAITH with God. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these LAST DAYS as the world nears its end . . .19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the IDOLS to whom the HEATHEN bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? NO, NOT AT ALL. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21 (Living Bible).

“Next is your question about EATING FOOD that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “KNOW-IT-ALL” makes us feel important, WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO BUILD THE CHURCH IS LOVE. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just SHOWING his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is OPEN TO GOD’S KNOWLEDGE. 4 So now, what about it? Should we EAT meat that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? Well, we all know that AN IDOL IS NOT REALLY A GOD, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD, AND NO OTHER. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of IDOLS as alive, and have believed that FOOD OFFERED TO THE IDOLS is really being OFFERED TO ACTUAL GODS. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your FREEDOM to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose CONSCIENCE is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin AGAINST Christ to sin AGAINST your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat OFFERED TO IDOLS is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 (Living Bible).

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not HABITUALLY sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that WE ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Living Bible).

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: OUGHT NOT TO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 1:18.

“Holding the mystery of THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY holds to THE TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS toward God in Christ Jesus, knowing that Jesus is THE TRUTH and our RIGHTEOUSNESS in God. And Jesus Christ is not just TRUTH but THE TRUTH. And as THE TRUTH He gives life, the eternal life of God to all who seeks the Father God in Him – John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12; and gives light to illuminate all who sits in darkness, to brighten up their life in RIGHTEOUSNESS without perversion, distortion, counterfeit, adulteration, and delusions; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). Galatians 1:6-10; Jude 1:3-4.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY lives by a PURE conscience toward God and toward men. The intent is to always stand by THE TRUTH of THE WORD irrespective of the circumstances and context of the moment. We are to hold steadfastly the mystery of the faith toward God and toward Christ Jesus in a pure conscience. 1 Peter 5:7-11. There’s no room to hold the TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS for any reason of pleasing self or others if we must remain the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

As an UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God, you can’t teach others to live in a particular life standard that you know contradicts the truth of the SCRIPTURE by the way you make it appears to suit the sentiments of the day. Asking someone or telling others not to steal, why you do steal by whatever formula or saying it is wrong to commit adultery why you do it or saying to someone not to pray to idols, why you make money or any modane things your god instead – this then will undermine the integrity and stand of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus. These aforementioned and such like should not be found among any UNPARALLELED ARMY that needs to manifest as vessel of use by God in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

The TRUTH is THE WORD, and Jesus is THE WORD – meaning that the UNPARALLELED ARMY cannot hold the TRUTH outside the WORD, for THE TRUTH is the WORD and is Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17. Meaning, for any to hold the TRUTH in any form of unrighteousness and to then expect the righteous outcome in life and grace is not possible instead it will attract the vehement WRATH of God without signal – Hebrews 10:31. Holding THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is an indication of manipulation and control and confusion, especially in the PREACHING of the Gospel – the good news of the goodness of God in Christ Jesus – when it’s been perverted, twisted, diluted, adulterated and such like.

“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.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY that is LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT does not hold THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. It’s not doubled-tongued in any means and for any means. The UNPARALLELED ARMY is commissioned to speak THE TRUTH IN LOVE because the part of the landmark of the commission is LOVING and having a LOVELY characteristics built on the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that TRANSCENDS and SUPERCEDES all human sense knowledge as written:

“But speaking THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ” Ephesians 4:15.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to know the LOVE of Christ, which PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be filled with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

It’s very important that anyone who claims to be a part of the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God that wants to live the LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT way of doing life and living godly, must resolved not to be a peddler who does THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or in any form of UNRIGHTEOUS CAUSE in the name of God in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the wrath of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:18-32.

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

“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.

“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through THY TRUTH: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through THE TRUTH” John 17:16-19

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, TEACHEST thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not STEAL, dost thou STEAL? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not COMMIT adultery, dost thou COMMIT adultery? thou that ABHORREST idols, dost thou COMMIT sacrilege? 23 thou that MAKEST thy boast of the law, through BREAKING the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is BLASPHEMED among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:21-29.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once DELIVERED unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, TURNING THE GRACE of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“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 . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

“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.

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19 Amplified.

“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 4:23-24.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” Galatians 1:6-10.

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

Many times in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD as reference in the Acts of the Apostle with consequences Acts 12:20-23; and heaven help those who helped themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms, they have to help themselves, and God can then follow suit in their terms if He really loves and cares about them. Then I pause most times and say – Really? as I asked why such a myth in people – if it’s ignorance, foolishness and stupidity. It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE than that of God as written in 1 Samuel 15:1-35 and 1 Samuel 10:18-20. We all know how it ended for him.

I want you to know for sure and true, that God is a God of PRINCIPLE and not of SENTIMENTS nor of a METHOD. He only operate within His WORD and not by human sentiments, emotions and methodology. So, in any emotions and methodology, which are common to mere men for sentimental reasons and values, God is not there, for He will only action where His WORD is the STAND, in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, meaning God is not PLEASE to get involved with such decisions at all. Hence making the VOICE of men your tool, makes you live outside God’s principle of BLESSEDNESS and abounding LOVE for His PURPOSE. GOD ONLY CONFIRM HIS WORD AND NOTHING ELSE. You need to always THINK about that before you make any decision in LIFE and GRACE.

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

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

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

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

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrants God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere not but learn a lesson from these three wise counts below in order not to be sentimental as in these scriptural instructions:

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

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

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

And if this legend of Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS to please men APPLAUD but they lean solely on God’s APPROVAL as in Jesus Christ stead – Act 2:22; why are you so OBSESSED of your life position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation, applaud or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class indicates how insecure you are in what you crave for otherwise you will to be contented in the enabling grace provision of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2.

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS

July 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS: What’s An IDOL/IDOLATRY – It’s ANYTHING!

“Therefore, my beloved, RUN [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] IDOLATRY [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]. 15 I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say” 1 Corinthians 10:14-15 Amplified.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

Idol and Idolatry are nouns. Meaning they are personified – which indicates they have characteristics and behavioural acts and effects. And are not just demonic but spirits at work passively in some people and places, thereby creating the essence of addictions, suffering, poverty, setbacks and such like, that leads to further bondages. Their likeness and difference can be connotes as this:

** An IDOL is a graven image or representation of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or BELIEVED to convey spiritual power, essence and being.

** An IDOLATRY is the worship of IDOLS. It connotes the WORSHIP and SERVING (rendering services) of SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than God as if it were God.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“IT WAS FOR THIS FREEDOM THAT CHRIST SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 19 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that AN IDOL IS ANYTHING? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEMONS [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You CANNOT drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of DEMONS. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]. 22 Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply [a]offend Him.]” 1 Corinthians 10:18-22 (Amplified).

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL

July 8, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said, that your WORTH in Him is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances makes you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus; and not before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity; and not even before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth definition is not in men. Know for certainty that YOU ARE MORE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY. You ARE CHOSEN, you ARE ROYAL, you ARE HOLY, you ARE PECULIAR, you ARE CALLED, and have RECEIVED and OBTAINED mercy.

You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE LABEL to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created, that is, reverently made. You ARE God made. You ARE of God’s cornerstone that’s fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS, don’t demean your WORTH for the less. Know full well, there’s an answer to your prayers, for God is able and faithful to meet up with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you are patience – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in TIMELESS realm of possibility not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH which is a necessity tool of timeless realm in Him, is paramount importance to engaged with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God will meet you up at that point of possibility realm – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

Dust off yourself right now, head up and raise your shoulder high and put on your high heels of redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS wherein comes the ANSWERS and not the QUESTIONS as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine, go forth and shine, for your light is come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.

Be Blessed – Meaning – Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Colour and be meaningfully Fulfilled.

YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).

“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).

“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.

“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.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

July 6, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!

“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.

Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.

And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.

And a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.

I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.

PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.

“And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY. . . “ Acts 8:1-20.

“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.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7.

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto love and to good works: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

“. . . Let us now GO BACK and VISIT our brethren in EVERY CITY where we have PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, and see HOW THEY ARE DOING” Acts 15:36.

“. . . PURE and UNDEFILED religion before God and the Father is this: to VISIT orphans and widows in THEIR trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:22-27).

“When the SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an HUNGRED, and ye gave me meat: I was THIRSTY, and ye gave me drink: I was a STRANGER, and ye took me in: 36 NAKED, and ye clothed me: I was SICK, and ye visited me: I was in PRISON, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when SAW we thee an HUNGRED, and fed thee? or THIRSTY, and gave thee drink? 38 When SAW we thee a STRANGER, and took thee in? or NAKED, and clothed thee? 39 Or when SAW we thee SICK, or in PRISON, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have DONE it unto one of the LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, ye have done it unto me” Matthew 25:31-40.

BE A STRANGER TO THESE – IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

July 5, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BE A STRANGER TO THESE – IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: IDOLATRY IS DEMONIC AND AN IDOL IS ANYTHING YOU REVERED TO GOD!

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may KNOW him that is true, and we ARE in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:20-21.

God’s Child – it’s a high time you keep yourself away from IDOLS AND IDOLATRY – and any of their such-like demands and activities.

God abhors IDOL and IDOLATRY, and won’t share His glory with any. Endeavour to become a stranger directly and indirectly to any sign up and presence of IDOL and IDOLATRY otherwise you become an enemy of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an IDOLATER, hath any INHERITANCE in the kingdom of Christ and of God” Ephesians 5:5.

IT’S A HIGH TIME YOU FLEE FROM THE APPEARANCE OF IDOL AND THE IDOLATRY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an IDOLATER, hath any INHERITANCE in the kingdom of Christ and of God” Ephesians 5:5.

“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from IDOLATRY. 15 I speak as to WISE men; JUDGE ye what I say . . . 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, THEY SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, AND NOT TO GOD: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS. 21 Ye cannot DRINK THE CUP of the Lord, and THE CUP of devils: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23 ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT: ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS EDIFY NOT. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth . . . 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 10:14-33

“Now as TOUCHING things offered unto IDOLS, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the EATING of those things that are offered in SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, we know that an IDOL IS NOTHING in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that ARE called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.
