Iniquity remains a hidden infirmity until it is awoken by the prospects of exaltation or of honour and glory around things that can impact our person, name, or image before men (Gen. 4:17/11:1-4; Jn. 12:43). Being faithful with another man’s business by serving until we are saved from ourselves is one of the Father’s prescriptions to deal with iniquity within our members (Lk. 16:10-13).
The soul of man can’t commit to a thing without sighting its hope, and it has to fight its former hope to have a new one installed (Rom. 4:18). Only thereby can the energies of our souls be unlocked and can we esteem the will of the Father above ours (Ps. 63:8, Jn. 5:30).
The world is the first philosophy of gain – known or learnt by almost every soul. So one of the essence of the gospel of Christ is to facilitate our escape from the strong captivities of this world, even such that uses man’s legitimate needs to enslave him.
The counsels/commandments of the Lord are non-negotiable; and by our response to them, He determines who really we are or what we love above what He loved/loves, and also called us to love. The dominion over sin is a dominion over thoughts we fall prey to because of what we openly or secretly, knowingly or unknowingly love, even this world.
The gospel has an ulterior motive, which is to expose every tie of friendship with this world in us, after which the Lord would watch our response to such revelations. A positive response from us will always lead to the creation of an enmity in us against the world, even in areas where we are unequally yoked with those who carry its lustful program.
Those whose goal is to inherit eternal life or to sit on God’s throne shouldn’t do less. It should be our deepest daily longing, meditation and the main investment drive of our souls.
This present life was given to us as a gift to learn eternal life, and without this understanding or sense of purpose, the abuse of this gift is inevitable.
One of the chief goals that a believer should have today is that of becoming of a meek and lowly heart and among many things, a serious limitation to desiring this heart, is what you are doing for God – like we saw in Moses! Truly great men were all made by the process or obedience to Faith they submitted to, which in turn empowered them to truly OBEY, LOVE OR FEAR GOD.
When a man finds great grace to do so, he would be unpopular for a season, and unaccepted in some circles – especially among those who build something inferior or contrary to Christ (1Pet. 2:4-7). The remedy for this is to believe headlong, Christ’s report; even His doctrine (Isa. 53:1, Jn. 20:31, 1Jn. 5:1).
There was a dominant thought upon the heart and mind of our Lord Jesus in every hour of His life/walk on earth. That thought/meditation was His Father’s will, which became the food of His soul in no time, and this must someday become ours also.
The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun. The goal of the epistles is to expose flocks (companies of believers) to the power of Christ, so that souls that were previously scattered by messages and philosophies that unknowingly instilled fear, can be healed, rearranged and brought into a state of stillness and receptivity to God – like they once were to the world, and by proxy, the devil.
The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun. But a generation of saints are arising to puncture that boast.
