So by the breath of the Spirit, this company was christened “The Man-Child”. Our Lord Jesus has committed to raise unto God, many more sons like him, those who would endure his voice and thereby be fathered to become new born spirits – in their souls!
A peculiar kind of life has been in the custody of the godhead from eternity past, one that was so precious that it separated them from all creature. The godhead agreed to declassify the secret knowledge governing this life of theirs with man, so that man can become a peculiar treasure and a peculiar people unto God.
God is the father of truth, and the only way he adopts our souls into truth is through the good fight of Faith; the fight against vanity, the fight to handle originality (the riches of His grace/good things of the kingdom). We are all surrounded by vanity (things that perish with the use), but it takes the wisdom God revealed in Christ Jesus for us to be saved from the grip of such things.
The hope of the gospel is to make us good; to make us much more precious than Gold in God’s sight (Isa. 13:12/1Pet. 1:7). Good men are made when Christ has preached himself (what makes him glad) to them and may this be our portion, amen.
This generation of believers is privileged under heaven to live in days when heaven is promoting their Faith –a divine empowerment meant to teach us “how to lose control of our lives” so that “God can gain control of it” and ultimately use it for His glory.
One thing that the Lord Jesus would like us all to see as clearly like he did long before he finished his faith course and overcame the world at the age of 30 is the phenomenon called death. Christ has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to life, and these are they two eternal commodities we are to showcase to nations, tribes, kindred and people, in the days of our flesh.
So if we can endure the dealings and the demands of the strait gate and of the narrow way, we’ll survive the first entrance (the wilderness – typifying Christ) where we would unlock the secret of His Life (His Faith) and receive preparation for an abundant entrance (Canaan – typifying the father).
THE SECRET PLACE is the place where Christ reveals His Faith which was kept secret for ages until Jesus walked on earth(E). It’s a place of receiving GOD’S GREAT PROMISE which is the inheritance of God’s elect(F).
The greatest battle takes place within the soul of man daily; the fight to allow God’s light find an entrance into the soul while simultaneously disallowing the influx of darkness in whatever form it takes, whether it comes “in the name of Christianity”, philosophy, religion, intellectualism or humanism. We must hasten to receive Christ’s Faith and God’s Love which would lead to the enemy’s undoing within us and without us.
Sin finally scored a trans-generational goal when it taught men to perennially SEEK GOD FOR THINGS (that perish with the use) at the expense of SEEKING GOD FOR HIS TREASURED LIFE! Seeking God for God demands all our heart, strength and mind.
So beyond the deductions of medicine, our blood carries a testimonial; with it, we either fetch and keep life or fetch and keep sin. The summary of our lives would either witness to our love for truth or lust for vanity.
The only way Jesus can unite and fortify believers is to get them to think alike – to think of the same expected end; the Father(H). The only way to do so is to get them to seek the things of others, and the only provision that caters for this is the Faith that was revealed in Jesus; the faith that unites(I) us for a cause that transcends time!
