The tree of the knowledge of good and evil has the ability to lead a soul from sin to death(E). The tree of life has the ability to wean(F) a believer from the popular faith in the church today (faith towards God), lead him/her through God’s Faith(G) and also mature him/her in God’s Love.
The Faith of the Son of God therefore remains a crucial provision of the New Testament that chastens the sinful nature in us and judges every common ground we share with this world (1Jn. 2:15). The Love of God is the final provision that would quicken us to overcome the wicked one and make us become invincible to him.
The solution to mankind’s problem has long been also packaged in a person; in the Tree of Life – and as far as God is concerned, it’s spiritually illegal to remain fleshy (Gen. 3:3/Jn. 6:54/Rev. 22:2)
God is greatly rich, because He lives by giving, with no clauses or strings attached. How unlike God men are; how like God we are called to be!
The end of the future of all men would either be categorized as acceptable/rewardable works (ie. gold, silver, precious stones) or unacceptable works that can’t stand the true test of fire. May I leave you with this anointed question, “What did the father reveal to Jesus as the future of man during those 33 years? Is that what you and I believe in as Our Future?”
There are things that belong strictly to God, things hidden for ages but later brought to light through Christ Jesus, and these things of Christ’s Faith and God’s Love is primarily meant to be obtained while in this world where the realm of the spirit isn’t visible like it would be in the world to come.
Every carnal believer who chooses to be sincere with God would know where he stands, and can begin by forsaking his unapproved rights – every righteousness that isn’t revealed by the father (Matt. 16:17/Rom. 1:17). The unfortunate life of the young rich ruler confirms that ANYTHING ELSE IS ACTUALLY COSTLIER!
God has called every genuine follower of Christ to the same herculean task of overcoming His enemy like His Son, the early apostles and few rarely known saints have done till date. We simply need to trust Christ to be in us, what he requires of us!
True freedom has a synonym called the peace of God, and it can become the inheritance of those who choose to despise (hate) the peace being offered by the world (Jn. 14:27/12:25).
We are therefore at the mercy of seeking freedom in God’s way, with God’s resources, and at God’s time. Going forward, a genuine wind of change that’s governed by the Gospel of Christ (God’s Power) would be visiting the church (saints) like never before.
The ministry of change (God’s Face) being supervised by His Spirit would be assuming a new dimension and no one must be left out (2Cor. 3:18/4:6). #True_Change_Is_Imminent!
God awaits a generation of saints that would agree with him that Learning His Gracious Heart primarily takes place through non-negotiable seasons of the unknown, where He employs economic setbacks, famine, illnesses, betrayals, inadequacies, buffetings of the enemy, despair etc. to change the genes of our souls, further our course in righteousness, redeem us from the earth and from among men, and most importantly, bring us to a terrain of His Faith where the enemy is greatly limited!
