THIS CHRISTMAS – GET GOD’S APPROVAL – SEEK TO KNOW GOD

December 17, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THIS CHRISTMAS – GET GOD’S APPROVAL – SEEK TO KNOW GOD: GET YOURSELF A GOOD STUDY BIBLE!

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (APPLYING) THE WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“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: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it” Acts 2:22-24.

It’s time to seek God’s APPROVAL on your life and well being in doing life and living godly rather than men APPLAUD in your life as Jesus experience of God in humanity. And in getting God’s approval as Jesus Christ received in humanity, in order to authenticate Him as the vessel in use for His kingdom cause on humanity, and in fulfilling divinity purpose, one must come to the place of ACKNOWLEDGING – having the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of – God in Christ Jesus stead – for therein is life in essence.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY TRUE God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

God is only a mystery to people when His PERSON and WAYS are not KNOWN by them. Especially to those whose knowing of him it’s purely for only the SIGNS and MIRACLES they seek and pursue after – which is really unfortunate.

“He made KNOWN HIS WAYS unto MOSES, HIS ACTS (SIGNS/MIRACLES) unto the CHILDREN of Israel” Psalms 103:7 (Emphasis Mine).

It’s time to cease to be a sign and miracle seeker and pursuer, and become God’s agent of use to bring about His miraculous signs and doing to others. Henceforth, cease to be a miracle and sign seeker and endeavour to KNOW God in His PERSON and WAYS of life – and in doing life and living godly also; for therein you can be His vessel of use to carry on and extend His BLESSEDNESS to others. Mark 16:20. Then ALL things will become TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and REAL, as God in His WORD to you.

You don’t have to PERISH as the children of Israelites did experience in the wilderness; for they NEVER KNEW nor UNDERSTAND the WAYS of God as Moses did experience with God, except for only cravings – the MIRACLES and SIGNS – they sought after in God to experience as enjoined in Psalms 103:7.

“He made KNOWN HIS WAYS unto MOSES, HIS ACTS (SIGNS/MIRACLES) unto the CHILDREN of ISRAEL” Psalms 103:7 (Emphasis Mine).

Do/Are you keen to know WHAT BECAME OF THAT GENERATION WHO SEEKS ONLY OR ARE MORE OF THE SIGNS AND MIRACLES IN THEIR CRAVEN? They never entered their promised land BLESSING with God as may have been expected, instead they all perished in spite of all signs and miracles received in the wilderness journey. [1 Corinthians 10:1-10]. They were MORE keen to have the pleasure that’s of God than the crave to knowing God and the path of God that brings about the graciousnesss and gracefulness to life and the pleasures, which is the consequence and results of knowing God and His ways. Psalms 16:11. Upon this, I highly COMMEND Acts 20:32 to you by God’s grace, your today and tomorrow as it’s written:

“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” Act 20:32.

It is only Joshua and Caleb of that generation, who had sought after Moses concept of God – knowing Him for who He is – His ways and person..

May God be REAL, TANGIBLE and REACHABLE by you in THIS CHRISTMAS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“He made KNOWN HIS WAYS unto MOSES, HIS ACTS (SIGNS/MIRACLES) unto the CHILDREN of ISRAEL” Psalms 103:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY TRUE God, and Jesus Christ, WHOM thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

“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 16:17-20.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (APPLYING) THE WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be IGNORANT, how that all our fathers were UNDER THE CLOUD, and all PASSED THROUGH THE SEA; 2 and were all BAPTIZED unto Moses in the CLOUD and in the SEA; 3 and did all EAT the same SPIRITUAL MEAT; 4 and did all DRINK the same SPIRITUAL DRINK: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that FOLLOWED them: and that rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED: FOR THEY WERE OVERTHROWN IN THE WILDERNESS. 6 Now these things were our EXAMPLES, to the INTENT we should not LUST after EVIL things, as they also LUSTED. 7 Neither be ye IDOLATERS, as were some of them; as it is written, The people SAT DOWN to EAT and DRINK, and ROSE UP to PLAY. 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9 Neither let us TEMPT Christ, as some of them also TEMPTED, and were DESTROYED of serpents. 10 Neither MURMUR ye, as some of them also MURMURED, and were DESTROYED of the destroyer” 1 Corinthians 10:1-10.

THIS CHRISTMAS – WHAT IS IT TO YOU: IS IT – CHRISTMAS Or XMAS

December 16, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THIS CHRISTMAS – WHAT IS IT TO YOU: IS IT – CHRISTMAS Or XMAS – I Know It’s “CHRIST” For “CHRISTMAS” And Not An ‘X’ For “CHRIST” As In “XMAS”!

“And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH (HUMANITY), JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

What is CHRISTMAS? It is the treasured and memorable yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our – Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for all mankind.

Beloved, BELIEVE not EVERY spirit, but TRY (EXAMINE) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is of God: 3 and every spirit that CONFESSETH NOT that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the WORLD” 1 John 4:1-3.

It’s imperative to commemorate and celebrate Christ birth. In being objective, I have sectioned the word Christmas in this way. That is, CHRIST and MAS. Wherefore, Christ – means, the anointed One, the Messiah, the Saviour, the Holy one of Israel and the Redeemer. And ‘MAS’ for ‘MASS’ means – The Gathering – To Celebrate, Commemorate and Observe. Hence CHRISTMAS in this context is the yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love in the birth of Christ and His REDEMPTION cause on Earth to all mankind.

This thus signifies “CHRISTMAS” as the sharing of that GRACE and the benediction of the triune God which is expressed through their LOVE to mankind in COMMUNION – FELLOWSHIP – as it’s written:

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Some have replaced the ‘Christ’ of Christmas with an ‘X’ for Xmas. Probably because they are ignorant or they can’t comprehend and imagine the good that Christ brings into Christmas, hence they chose the use of the negative connotations that ‘X’ represents. You see it in advert through the media, Christmas cards and such like places to undermine the true essence for which Christ was born and named in Christmas.

CHRIST is not the same as ‘X’ connotation. It is not a worthwhile abbreviation either by any margins.

However there are other opinions about Christmas, while some say Christmas is not important and is not worth any form of commemoration and celebration because

it’s a heathen day, a pagan holiday. Others indicate that December 25th is not the day on which Christ was born and some even claimed it’s in October. Some people also say that He was born spiritual and not with physical nature – not in humanity. According to some it is for pagans and Satanists due to the glamorous events and activities that are now associated to this date especially with the financial indiscipline and indebtedness people entangle themselves into as a result of the celebration. and commemoration in quote.

May I say that just because the enemy perverts and distorts the meaning and essence of the celebration of Christmas, does not mean that we should let go of that which we believe is of God – that is, that Christ was BORN for us all according to the scriptures irrespective of individuals or selective fews indignation of Christ birth in humanity. 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 4:1-6.

For me and every supposed Spirit born child of God, what is vital in the whole scenario of indifference is that Christ was born in the flesh – humanity. This is without controversy

as endorsed in 1 Timothy 3:16. Dates and times not withstanding and should not be an issue, but the act of acknowledging this very fact and truth of God in the light of the Holy Scriptures makes the journey of the Christian FAITH meaningful and fulfilling to anyone that believes in Christ Jesus as saviour and Lord as in the scriptures.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, BELIEVE not EVERY spirit, but TRY (EXAMINE) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is of God: 3 and every spirit that CONFESSETH NOT that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the WORLD. 4 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 4:1-6 (Emphasis Mine).

“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” Galatians 1:6-9.

“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.

“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.

“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 [HUMAN, HUMANITY], 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.

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

THIS CHRISTMAS: CHRIST JESUS IS COME!

December 16, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THIS CHRISTMAS: CHRIST JESUS IS COME!

The great, gracious, graceful and awesome thing about Christmas, is that, it’s God’s intent. It’s of His purpose and it is for our good that Christ Jesus (the saviour, messiah and anointed one) came; and whose birth we do commemorate and celebrate this season in this Christmas.

THIS CHRISTMAS, CHRIST JESUS IS COME:

* To SEEK for ‘THAT’ which humanity lost in creation and

* To SAVE ‘THAT’ which was lost accordingly.

Humanity lost God’s FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP by their ways of doing life. Christ is come to seek humanity from their self bondage back to ‘THAT’ lost fellowship and relationship. He seeks for you today, to take the yoke and burden of life off you. That’s a will of your choice you have to accept and make.

Humanity lost their worth as a result of sin. For sin is the reason for poverty, sickness and spiritual death which can result finally – physical death, plus every thing that makes life unbearable.

Until man sin none of those mentioned above items was there, but Christ is come to SAVE one and all from the THAT, which has people bondage and had kept them in captivity of satan and cohort’s.

This Christmas, Christ is come for you, so take advantage of the season to make right with God in Christ Jesus for your complete salvation: *Peace, *wholeness, *safety, *security, *healing, *health, *prosperity, *success, *dignity, *honour, !wisdom, *blessings and *more.

I pray you make a wise decision like the wise men from the east as in the scriptures, who go visiting Christ Jesus at birth when they heard of the saviour who came to seek and save them.

THIS CHRISTMAS, THE PROFOUND TRUTH – CHRIST JESUS CAME!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the Son of man is come to SEEK and to SAVE THAT which was LOST.” (Luke 19:10).

“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).

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a KING. TO THIS END WAS A BORN, and for THIS CAUSE CAME I INTO THE WORLD, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS

December 14, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS: GOD SENT HIS WORD WITH A MISSION!

I make an emboldened stand, saying that God’s WORD, that was made manifest to us in the FLESH – Humanity – was sent to us intentionally. His WORD came for a mission, that’s to say, there was a PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for the Christmas story. And that makes it more than the shopping – for there’s a REASON for the SEASON.

The WORD that became HIM, that’s FLESH – HUMAN [HUMANITY], was sent to do two primary work:

** To HEAL the triune-man: spirit, soul and body. – (spiritual, physical, emotional, social, mental and such like).

** To SEEK, SAVE and DELIVER mankind from every act of destruction either as of sin, man-made, satanic and cohorts, and/or of natural causes thereby giving freedom from their effects, which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH.

“For the Son of man is COME to SEEK and to SAVE that which was LOST” Luke 19:10.

This Christmas, lay hold to your healing, Salvation and deliverance. Don’t just eat, drink and exchange gift and stop there, when there are cases that demands complete wholeness of healing and deliverance that’s hanging over you.

Take God by His WORD in faith, in this season of this Christmas, and receive your complete wholeness in – Healing, Salvation, Deliverance and such like – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And say therefore to you in – THIS CHRISTMAS – may you be HEALED and be WHOLE in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I pray you have a glorious and gracious commemoration and celebration. I pray your Christmas would be whole, complete and not in part.

THIS CHRISTMAS – IN SHARING GIFT

December 12, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THIS CHRISTMAS – IN SHARING GIFT: SHARE IN ALL – IN LOVE!

This CHRISTMAS, in all your SHARING, SHARE in LOVE. The best, ultimate of all gift is SALVATION to friends, family and love ones. Every gift may fade away with time and circumstances, but SALVATION of a loved one can never fade away – for love doesn’t fade or fail. [1 Corinthians 13].

The GRACE that brings Salvation to all men, is bonded in the Christmas LOVE. Extend such love to friends and love ones in your Christmas gift sharing.

Let the act to share IN LOVE be supreme to the sharing by the cost of the gift. Value gift not just by the cost only, but by the spirit of love in the gift. Remember the widows mite. It may be the more honourable thing for the Lord to unveil you His blessings.

In this year CHRISTMAS, make your Christmas a delight and not a burden – by Sharing LOVE . . . Sharing FAITH . . . Sharing HOPE . . . Sharing GIFT And Sharing GOODWILL To OTHERS beyond you in LOVE!.

SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN but LOVE makes Christmas an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL.

I pray you with God’s grace and blessings.

“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13.

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be KINDLY affectionate to one another with BROTHERLY LOVE, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, GIVEN TO HOSPITALITY” Romans 12:9-13.

The Christmas REASON

December 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The Christmas REASON: The Expression SEASON of God’s LOVE to HUMANITY – in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP!

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

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

This December . . . and in This Christmas, the season is more than just celebrations and commemoration season. It’s about you enacting and authenticating your LOVE to God as He does toward you in Christ Jesus in order for you to fulfill your life given purpose in Him.

“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.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

And I know, that, by the virtue of birth, my wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me; but if any is to enjoy a MORE THAN the usual, normal and generalised BLESSEDNESS beyond the right to birth-marked, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it – and that path undertaking, it’s their RESPONSIBILITY to make it happen.

Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore the FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him in Christ Jesus stead. For Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, though He’s God’s son in relationship, has to learn OBEDIENCE through FELLOWSHIP in same scenario in order to obtaining of God all it takes to be, while in humanity as us today.

“. . . 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the DAYS of his FLESH [HUMANITY], when he had OFFERED up PRAYERS [FELLOWSHIP] and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that He FEARED [REVEREND]; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered; 9 and being made perfect, he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:1-10/Emphasis Mine.

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

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

Adam lost his FELLOWSHIP at Eden and it cost him dearly for all humanity at Eden as we know. Jesus in humanity maximise His FELLOWSHIP in His humanity and He made all the difference as we know it for the good of all humanity too.

Hence Month December and this Christmas is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of FELLOWSHIP you are having and engaging with Father God personally. This is good and necessary, in order to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him. This is what ‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ in ‘THIS DECEMBER’ and ‘THIS DAY’ should be about – The REASON for the SEASON.

It is the FELLOWSHIP that strengthens RELATIONSHIP. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys and erases the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this SEASON of Christmas, give room for the REASON, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you and your good.

Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’ and have your own ACQUAINTANCE with Him. For LOVE makes Christmas a gracious event while SELFISHNESS (SELF-CENTEREDNESS) makes it a burden and pain.

May you have an amazing Christmas in all you do I pray.

Every Blessing.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” 1 John 1:5-7.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

“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).

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine).

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“I am CRUCIFIED with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the LIFE which I now LIVE in the flesh I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who LOVED me, and GAVE himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

JESUS THE CHRIST: HE IS – THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS

December 9, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

JESUS THE CHRIST: HE IS – THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED THIS DECEMBER!

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

CHRIST JESUS – He’s the REASON for the SEASON. He’s the reason for the commemoration and celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can make the season to be efficacious.

For me, when you take Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.

CHRISTMAS is a yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION cause on earth for the good and goodness of All mankind.

CHRIST means – The anointed one, The Messiah, The Saviour, The Redeemer and much more – The soon coming King; while the MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let us commemorate and celebrate Him, for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:

*Peace and goodwill toward men

*Hope, Faith & Love for men

*Fellowship and Relationship

*Salvation for all mankind and more.

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned, and,

He is no longer:

* The babe in the manger

* The servant to death

* The limited one and

* The Christ on the Cross.

He’s now the:

* God on the throne

* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)

* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and

* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).

May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins . . . 23 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 . . . 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” Matthew 1:18-25.

“For unto us a CHILD is BORN, unto us a SON is GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” Isaiah 9:6-7.

“When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the SON OF MAN am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the living God . . . 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:13-20.

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

It’s Scripturally WISE to say that BETTER is TODAY Than BEFORE – That’s Wisdom in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s Scripturally UNWISE to say YESTERDAY is BETTER than TODAY and probably TOMORROW.

“SAY NOT thou, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:10

One great error of errors, it’s when you pray or have prayed for an expectation of God to come to fruition and you go contradicting your expectations – by allowing yourself to be RULED afterwards by what your SENSES [see, hear, smell, taste, feel/touch] or by what the CIRCUMSTANCES around present before you; and that’s when you are not being RULED and EARNESTLY garrison by what you wants to see happen in the LIGHT of God’s WORD, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know for sure and certainly, that between WHEN YOU PRAY to God and an ANSWER is come to fruition, your SENSE of focus in the WORD of GRACE and FAITH is very important. Let the gracious WORDS proceeds out of your mouth in FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen

“And all bare HIM (JESUS) witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Thou art SNARED with the WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.

As long as you are focusing and affirming in statements of what you are SENSING and or by the CIRCUMSTANCES before you PRAYED, you can NEVER have what you wants from Father God in Christ. Simply for the truth that a double minded person can’t receive anything from God.

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For LET NOT that man think that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is UNSTABLE in all his ways” James 1:2-8.

And when you stay ASSURED, STEADFAST and in CONFIDENCE by the WORD of GRACE and FAITH, focusing on what you WANTS to see of God, and not ruled and governed by what you are sensing, know for a certainty, that, there’s no force known and unknown that will be able to stop your request from not coming to fruition and in reality in your God as you have PRAYED. For the ministering spirit, the angelic hosts will perfectly deliver your God GIVEN goods into your hands when they are ASSURED of you acting by the word of God. For they only harkens to the voice of God’s WORD.

“For SURELY there is AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall NOT be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18.

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

And on the contrary, what happens when you go thinking and believing that your FORMER days are BETTER than your TODAY and in some cases that your future will be in delusion, you keep at bay the working of God’s WORD on your behalf. Such acts of thinking makes one unwise in receiving anything from God.

When one begin to say that their today is worst than their before you are not giving the heavens the opportunity to interfere in solving your earthly matters. Hence such attitude is considered an UNWISE reasoning in the kingdom operations to receive from God. For your attitude will unveil your altitudes in gratitude. You need to know full well that God is RICH to all who calls upon Him and that stays in steadfastness by FAITH on His WORD irrespective of the “IF” and “BUT” about them.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall NOT be ASHAMED. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

“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.

YOUR FOCUS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE SEED THAT DEFINES YOUR FAITH IN GRACE FOR YOUR NOW, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Surely OPPRESSION maketh a WISE man mad; and a GIFT (BRIBE) destroyeth (CORRUPTS) the (GOOD JUDGEMENT OF THE) HEART. 8 BETTER is the END of a thing than the BEGINNING thereof: and the patient in spirit is BETTER than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for ANGER resteth in the BOSOM of fools. 10 SAY NOT thou, What is the cause that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:7-10 Emphasis Mine.

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“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.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING according to HIS WILL, he HEARETH us: 15 and if we KNOW that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, we KNOW that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a GREAT high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING). 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.
