MORE THAN CONQUERORS

March 3, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATING IN THE TRINITY OF – GRACE, LOVE AND COMMUNION!

Month MARCH by the Gregorian calendar year, is the third in the numbering of the months. And TODAY is the THIRD Day of The THIRD Month – MARCH of the year. And the number Three (3) speaks of TRINITY, as well as PERFECTION, meaning UNITY, COMPLETENESS, FULNESS, MATURITY and WHOLENESS.

And as in TRINITY in our BENEDICTION, we can appropriate the fulness, wholeness, unity, completeness, perfection and maturity of our GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION, in our REDEMPTION rights and privileges, as MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in the light of the scriptures, as it’s written:

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

“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.

It thus means therefore, that our being Born Again as Believer’s in Christ Jesus is a great news; but the KNOWING and APPROPRIATING that you ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, is more gracious and graceful. Hence, we need to APPROPRIATE the REDEMPTION rights and privileges in our moments to moments of DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Also, the KNOWING that you are REDEEMED by virtue of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is awesome; but it’s your being able to APPROPRIATE the essence in your day to day living in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, as a REDEEMED child of God that is the most awesome, practical and productive in all.

And by the essence of the TRINITY in GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION provisions in our REDEMPTION, you need to know it’s in your place in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your redeemed position as MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. This is made possible for us to colour our worlds and to practically apply to the fulfilment of the very BEST of God in the face and phase of the changes and challenges in our WORLD of doing life today. And you must and should know without an outer of doubts, that the journey begins NOW and NOT TOMORROW, in this walk in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 37 Nay, in all THESE THINGS we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED US. . .” Romans 8:35-39.

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

“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.

“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.

“Now to Him who is ABLE to [carry out His PURPOSE and] do SUPERABUNDANTLY MORE THAN all that we DARE ASK or THINK [infinitely beyond our GREATEST PRAYERS, hopes, or dreams], according to His POWER that is at WORK within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:20-21 Amplified.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“GIVING THANKS unto the Father, which hath MADE (QUALIFIED) us meet to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in light: 13 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 1:12-20.

“In whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of his GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all WISDOM and PRUDENCE” Ephesians 1:7-8.

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

February 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human HEART [a mysterious LONGING which NOTHING under the sun can SATISFY, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end”  Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

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

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He that TILLETH his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let not your HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN of life: in thy light shall we see light” Psalms 36:9.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—MEDITATE on these things” Philippians 4:8 NKJV.

“I am convinced and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6 Amplified.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have RECEIVED in the Lord, that you may FULFILL it” Colossians 4:17/NKJV.

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME

October 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME: INVOLVES FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE to make in life in terms of either being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – or to make the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves. And it’s only by following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT in your life that FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead comes to reality. That’s what it means for one to earnestly enact the charged, assigned, and commissioned mandate to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, so that you don’t just attained success but the fulfilment therein.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

The quest there in the concept to – OCCUPY TILL I COME – is you are prepared to let God be the lead in the concept, especially when you are subjected to circumstances that’s different from your expectations as Philip the evangelist experienced by following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for his life – Act 8:1-40; Acts 21:7-9. As Philip the evangelist in obedience – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, the ride and drive may not always be pleasing but you can deduce it’s your place of FULFILLMENT in Him. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“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 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) 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/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skilfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen only for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry as Philip the evangelist did in obedience –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher, richer and fulfilling as written in Acts 8:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 And there was GREAT REJOICING in that CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to GAZA. This is the DESERT [route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of GREAT AUTHORITY under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to WORSHIP. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or to have a global or the glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; Evangelist Philip was someone whose goal is to be a disciple and follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit; and one who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip the  evangelist did in Acts 8. Such attitude toward God’s intent, is what I called and considered as one who is – OCCUPYING TILL HE COMES and OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. It must be noted for sure that SUCCESS is good but it’s relative in life to all and it’s of God however; but God’s earnest desire is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve FULFILMENT which is far beyond just being SUCCESSFUL. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us to be successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively as charged to – OCCUPY TILL I COME.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative to all, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s in doing this God’s given and driven charge in an unhindered and uncompromising way; and with anything of sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did in 1 John 3:8; John 18:37 and Apostle Paul did in obedience as in Philippians 3:1-16, and upon which others like Archippus was exhorted, admonished and charged to do likewise also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; which is far beyond – from just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 8:3.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. TO THIS END WAS I 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.

“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.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Philip [the deacon, not the apostle] went down to the city of SAMARIA and PROCLAIMED the Christ (the Messiah) to them [the people]; 6 And GREAT CROWDS of people with one accord listened to and heeded what was said by Philip, as they heard him and watched the miracles and wonders which he kept performing [from time to time]. 7 For foul spirits came out of many who were possessed by them, screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and many who were suffering from palsy or were crippled were restored to health. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” (Acts 8:1-40) Kindly read the entire chapter for context.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE

September 15, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE: IT GIVES FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to DO the WILL (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely FINISH His work” John 4:34/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s the CHOICE of being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – and the CHOICE of being – MERELY A SUCCESS AND SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves to passionate be driven with to become.

The quest there in the above concept is this – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for you? And especially when you know that the God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, could be your place of FULFILLMENT indeed. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life in grace and possibly in ministry rather than just having a mere glamour of SUCCESS or being SUCCESSFUL for men applaud and hype while unfulfilled in God’s intent for your life and wellbeing. Following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life it’s the only guaranteed for God’s APPROVAL and your FULFILMENT in Him as did exemplified for us to follow and walk in His steps as Disciples of Him in Father God by the Holy Spirit.

“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 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) 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/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified [Ephesians 1:11].

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

Know for the truth that any person who’s keen for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place and position to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT [REMOTE] which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees OBEDIENCE to God’s INSTRUCTIONS [PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT] far higher and fulfilling as written in Acts 21:8, 26-29.

“. . . 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 REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT [REMOTE]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful 9r have a global or glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; that’s someone whose goal is to be a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – and who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8. That’s what I call and consider as one who is – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good but relative and it’s of God however; but God’s desires is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve SUCCESS but far beyond just being successful. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s about doing this God’s given and driven in an unhindered and uncompromised way, with any sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord  Christ Jesus did (1 John 3:8; John 18:37) and Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and which is far beyond – just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

June 5, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF – BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished,  by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s –  PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“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.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . 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 . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

February 18, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human HEART [a mysterious LONGING which NOTHING under the sun can SATISFY, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end”  Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

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

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEn spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He that TILLETH his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let not your HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN of life: in thy light shall we see light” Psalms 36:9.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—MEDITATE on these things” Philippians 4:8 NKJV.

“I am convinced and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6 Amplified.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have RECEIVED in the Lord, that you may FULFILL it” Colossians 4:17/NKJV.

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME

October 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME: INVOLVES FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE to make in life in terms of either being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – or to make the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves. And it’s only by following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT in your life that FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead comes to reality. That’s what it means for one to earnestly enact the charged, assigned and commissioned mandate to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, so that you don’t just attained success but the fulfilment therein.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

The quest there in the concept to – OCCUPY TILL I COME – is you are prepared to let God be the lead in the concept, especially when you are subjected to circumstances that’s different from your expectations as Philip the evangelist experienced by following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for his life – Act 8:1-40; Acts 21:7-9. As Philip the evangelist in obedience – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, the ride and drive may not always be pleasing but you can deduce it’s your place of FULFILLMENT in Him. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“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 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) 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/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen only for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry as Philip the evangelist did in obedience –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher, richer and fulfilling as written in Acts 8:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 And there was GREAT REJOICING in that CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to GAZA. This is the DESERT [route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of GREAT AUTHORITY under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to WORSHIP. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or to have a global or the glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; Evangelist Philip was someone whose goal is to be a disciple and follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit; and one who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip the  evangelist did in Acts 8. Such attitude toward God’s intent, is what I called and considered as one who is – OCCUPYING TILL HE COMES and OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. It must be noted for sure that SUCCESS is good but it’s  relative in life to all and it’s of God however; but God’s earnest desire is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve FULFILMENT which is far beyond just being SUCCESSFUL. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us to be successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively as charged to – OCCUPY TILL I COME.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative to all, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s in doing this God’s given and driven charge in an unhindered and uncompromising way; and with anything of sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did in 1 John 3:8; John 18:37 and Apostle Paul did in obedience as in Philippians 3:1-16, and upon which others like Archippus was exhorted, admonished and charged to do likewise also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; which is far beyond – from just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT

September 15, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT: GIVES FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE of being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – and the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves.

The quest there in the above concept is this – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, could be your place of FULFILLMENT indeed. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“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 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) 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/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single-person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher and fulfilling as written in Acts 21:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 21:1-8, 26-40.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or have a global or glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; that’s someone whose goal is to be a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – and who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8. That’s what I call and consider as one who is – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good but relative and it’s of God however; but God’s desires is for us in Christ Jesus’ stead to have and achieve SUCCESS but far beyond just being successful. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose, and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven –  PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s about doing this God’s given and driven in an unhindered and uncompromised way, with any sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord  Christ Jesus did (1 John 3:8; John 18:37) and Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God-GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead; and which is far beyond – just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus’ stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 8:3.

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

“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.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Philip [the deacon, not the apostle] went down to the city of SAMARIA and PROCLAIMED the Christ (the Messiah) to them [the people]; 6 And GREAT CROWDS of people with one accord listened to and heeded what was said by Philip, as they heard him and watched the miracles and wonders which he kept performing [from time to time]. 7 For foul spirits came out of many who were possessed by them, screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and many who were suffering from palsy or were crippled were restored to health. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” (Acts 8:1-40) Kindly read the entire chapter for context.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

June 5, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE STORY OF TWO WOLVES: THE CHOICE IS YOURS – THE ONE YOU FEED!

A dear brother and friend sent me this THOUGHT PONDERING and awakening writ in picture.

I hope you make a sense out of it for your own good for today and tomorrow as its written also in the scripture:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK (FEED, MEDITATE, PONDER) ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8 EMPHASIS MINE.

“Finally, believers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is Honourable and worthy of RESPECT, whatever is RIGHT and CONFIRMED by God’s word, whatever is PURE and WHOLESOME, whatever is LOVELY and brings PEACE, whatever is ADMIRABLE and of GOOD REPUTE; if there is any EXCELLENCE, if there is anything WORTHY of PRAISE, THINK CONTINUALLY on these things [CENTER your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]” Philippians 4:8 AMPLIFIED.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF –  BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished, by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“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.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . 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 . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

March 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATING IN THE TRINITY OF – GRACE, LOVE AND COMMUNION!

Month MARCH by the Gregorian calendar year, is the third in the numbering of the months. And TODAY is the THIRD Day of The THIRD Month – MARCH of the year. And the number Three (3) speaks of TRINITY, as well as PERFECTION, meaning UNITY, COMPLETENESS, FULNESS, MATURITY and WHOLENESS.

And as in TRINITY in our BENEDICTION, we can appropriate the fullness, wholeness, unity, completeness, perfection and maturity of our GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION, in our REDEMPTION rights and privileges, as MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in the light of the scriptures, as it’s written:

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

“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.

It thus mean therefore, that our being Born Again as Believer in Christ Jesus is a great news; but the KNOWING and APPROPRIATING that you ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, is more gracious and graceful. Hence, we need to APPROPRIATE the REDEMPTION rights and privileges in our moments to moments of DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Also, the KNOWING that you are REDEEMED by virtue of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is awesome; but it’s your being able to APPROPRIATE the essence in your day to day living in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, as a REDEEMED child of God that is the most awesome, practical and productive in all.

And by the essence of the TRINITY in GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION provisions in our REDEMPTION, you need to know it’s in your place in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your redeemed position as MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. This is made possible for us to color our worlds and to enjoy to the fulfillment of the very Best of God in the face and phase of the changes and challenges in our WORLD of doing life today. And you must and should know without an iota of doubts that the journey begins NOW and NOT TOMORROW, in this walk in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 37 Nay, in all THESE THINGS we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED US. . .” Romans 8:35-39.

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

“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.

“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.

“Now to Him who is ABLE to [carry out His PURPOSE and] do SUPERABUNDANTLY MORE THAN all that we DARE ASK or THINK [infinitely beyond our GREATEST PRAYERS, hopes, or dreams], according to His POWER that is at WORK within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:20-21 Amplified.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“GIVING THANKS unto the Father, which hath MADE (QUALIFIED) us meet to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in light: 13 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 1:12-20.

“In whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of his GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all WISDOM and PRUDENCE” Ephesians 1:7-8.
