HIS CALL, AND THE RELATIONSHIP

HIS CALL, AND THE RELATIONSHIP... 

Here I am taking stock of my activities for the past few days as we all draw closer to the end of the year (2018), and I check through my activities as a minister of the Gospel and as a Father.
I realize that in so many ways I have drifted off His will and His purpose, due to the noise which was so loud and much around me, the cravens of the flesh. I simply and sincerely told myself "I'm no superhuman and I'm bound to fall once in a while...", but sincerely I have no right to justify these actions, for 'Sin is Sin.'
I then imagined to myself if my Lord had come in that state of heart what would I have said to those who see me as an "Emblem of Truth and Righteousness", I surely would have been ashamed of my exposed lies and sinful nature as one who would have missed going with my Lord and Savior in His second return.
I looked back and knew it was God trying to call me back to where I left Him off at. Taking stock of my activities as both a father and a minister of the Gospel, I see reasons why I need trace my way back to His feet and start all over again for His will and purpose for me is Bigger than my wildest imagination...

I write this article to my friends, fellow preachers and ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I write to those whose heart beats for the Gospel, I write to those who in one way or the other have the call for the ministry and have link to His purpose for the end time Gospel and the final cry for righteousness and holiness which will lead to the coming of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
I write to remind you and myself that His call to ministry is one thing; the Relationship we maintain with Him is another.

Ephesians 4: 11 and 12-13  says; 

11.   And he gave some, apostles; and some, 

   prophets; and some, evangelis,

some; pastors and teachers;

12.   For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, 

         for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13.  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge 

     of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,

unto the measure of the 

    stature of the fulness of Christ:

For He has called some of us to become "Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers"
for the main purpose of the Saints.
If as ministers of the Gospel we do not keep this "MANDATE" to heart and have complete understanding of it, then we will lose focus of the "Thirteenth (13th) verse" which speaks to us of why we are called;  "For us and those whom the Lord has put under our care, to come to FULL BODIED KNOWLEDGE AND LIKENESS OF JESUS CHRIST" inside and outside of our and their lives.
A man under this call need not carry the excess baggage which most of us carry in our journey as ministers. Your excess baggage could be "Hatred, Envy, Covetousness, Immorality(in the form of Masturbation, Pornography, Immoral Sexual Addictions, Homosexuality, Drunkenness...), Addiction to Internet Scams and Fraud, Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Domestic Violence and other forms of Abuse and lots of other acts which I may not be able to remember..." it's not His will that we answer the call with this Excess baggage. 

As I take stock of my life firstly as a Christian who has been called into the light of His Salvation, and as a husband to my lovely Wife, and Father to my wonderful kids, and most of all a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ I see the need not to compromise what I stand to gain when I'm completely "Tuned to His Frequency" and not been distracted by my cravens for Sin.
You know, some of us we have come a long way with that "so called Addiction" Infact some of you cannot remember where and how that seed was planted in your lives and all of a sudden it is making you struggle in staying Holy and maintaining a Righteous life for Him. I for one cannot remember how the seed which was planted in my heart, but I remember unconsciously how I gave in to it and gradually gave it room to grow and all of a sudden it's now making me once in awhile lose touch with my Lord and Savior, and I know its like so for some of you, but some of you will say "the Lord understands and I know someday I will stop it finally."
Well that's why I write you this letter in form of an article, "The Lord sincerely does not understand why you would put your hand on the plough and still look back." He expects us to remain in Holiness and maintain our Righteousness in Him for only through this we can maintain a good and healthy relationship with Him as the one who has called us to the perfecting of His Saints.
The year is almost coming to an end and it is wise for you as I am doing to take stock of all your activities and check if you truly are in right standing with the Lord. The Lord is not coming for the "Today in the Lord and tomorrow out of His will Christians", no He is coming for those who will earnestly live and maintain Holiness (for the scriptures says; "His eyes can never behold iniquity") as their number one priority as one who has been bought over by the blood of the precious Lamb.
How long shall you live in that deceptive lie?, for how long shall you pretend in front of God's called out ones?
It's easy for some of you to read this post and say; "don't mind them, young pastors struggling with sin and running mushroom Churches..."  Sincerely it's easy to point accusing fingers to those who admit to coming short of His grace, it's easy to point accusing fingers to Pastors and ministers who were caught up in their own be-setting sins... But how difficult for those who already have missed their way and are still having people troop into their churches and in one form or the other still perform all sorts of miracles, but their hearts are far from the Lord who they claim is their Lord.
Apostle Paul said "I find myself doing those things which I chose not to do..." this statement comes from the heart of a man who knows that placing his hands on the plough means total commitment to God in Holiness and Righteousness.

No wonder the people of God are been tossed around with the winds of various doctrines, as the fourteenth (14th) verse of Ephesians 4 says; 

      14.   That we henceforth be no more 
               children, tossed to and fro, and 
               carried about with every wind of 
               doctrine, by the sleight of men, 
               and cunning craftiness, whereby
               they lie in wait to deceive

This is because as watchmen most of us have paid blind eyes to our excess baggage... We feel God understands, and in doing so the truth from our mouths have no power to convict and restrain men from wondering away from the fold of Jesus Christ.
I stopped and did a thorough check and review of my life and my spiritual life as a result to the conviction to turn and return to my Lord and walk at His pace and according to His will.  Remember friend, you're struggling with that addiction it's because the devil knows if he allows you to come into the fullness of God's will, the end for him will be sooner than he expects. So, he plants those seeds long before now in other for you to remain limited from actually maximizing your full spiritual potential and tapping into your Heavenly benefits and Grace which is centered on Relationship with the Lord.
Friend, 2019 and beyond holds deep spiritual "Revelations and Resources" that only those who stand in Holiness, Righteousness and deep Relationship with God can unlock the mysteries 2019 and beyond holds.
We are entering into the season of "Daniel narrating the Kings dream and interpreting same..." we are entering the times where only those who connect into God's frequency will stand the heat of the coming furnace.
Very soon church population will not determine the oil on the head of those who are truly called, sincerity and Holiness will set the Called ones apart from the todays magicians and orators who parade themselves as Gods ministers.
I chose to be used by God in the times we are about to enter, and I chose not to continue in the deceptions of the pulpit and the falsehood of the todays ministers. I chose not to be termed as a "Wolf in sheep's clothing", but one who sincerely serves his Lord in complete purity and Holiness.
Remember the call is for the "Perfecting of the Saints", so that they will not be victims of strange doctrines, and strange voices and beliefs.

The Relationship.
The relationship exposes us to deep realms of understanding of God's intents upon the earth and for His children.
When we live a life of sin and iniquity (and say; "I'll cover it up and no one will know") we end up breaking the TRANSMITTING FREQUENCY OF GOD TO US. He speaks and we find it very difficult to get His direct thoughts and intents for our lives and for the people He has put us in charge of.
The diagram below shows God speaking and we get to hear Him faintly and sometimes we dont or we seemingly hear Him through some other means which most times we mistake it for our continence, thoughts and ideas.

But, when we maintain a cordial and deep relationship with God we end up hearing from God expressly and direct. Just like the diagram below shows the benefit of pure relationship with God.

God is calling out for true worshippers, not in songs and hymns, but in lifestyle and action. God is preparing for the last battle cry and making ready His second coming. He can only work with those whos Garments are void of blemish, He is after men and women who will completely ignore evil and sin, and embrace Holiness and Righteousness.

        "For the righteous LORD loveth 
          righteousness; His countenance 
          doth behold the upright."
                                                                              
                                     Psalms 11:7 (KJV)


I don't know of you, but like I said I chose not to cross 2018 with my excess baggage, it's high time I lay all down at the cross and sincerely walk with Him in Holiness and avoid polluting my Righteousness with the desires and pleasures of this world.
Don't be quick to judge me, but be quick to search yourself and check if you truly are in right standing with the Lord.


MARANATHA!

A CALL FOR SUPPORT

Please be kind to support our ministry(THE CHRONICLE ARK CHURCH) as we have come to the phase where we need financial support from friends of the Gospel and lovers of God's work earnestly.
We are trying to get help in the area of both "Sound and Musical equipments." We know someone out their will come to our aid and help give us a voice to reach lost souls and win more souls for the Lord in this perilous and end time.
For me as a preacher, it's better for me to ask in sincerity than to go about it in a dubious and ungodly fashion(way) that would end up putting my relationship with God at risk and defeating the purpose of the Gospel.

Please feel free to call:
0905 510 3325, 0803 693 7833
To know how you can be of support to the work of God in our hands.
Remember it's not my work, but His work and He needs you to support us in wherever means necessary for the sake of the Gospel.

God bless you, and please keep living a life that is ready for RAPTURE!


Pastor Chidi Ohanum.
