The love of money has been an age-long cancer of the soul, long before cancer of the body was ever diagnosed. It has left the soul of many believers unhealthy and covetous, and it remains an unarmed robber that has consistently stolen the birthright of many believers, robbing them of their inheritance in Christ and in the Father (1Tim 6:9-10, Lk. 12:15, Eph. 5:5).
A believer who is free from the reach and fears generated by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world-is one who has laid aside the old things or goods of his soul. Such a one has developed a single/Christlike mind or eye that solely looks for the incorruptible inheritance from the Father of lights; for the next inheritance that can only be found in the everlasting Kingdom of God the Father.
In the sight of the Lord, a believer who is closer to receiving the first and last inheritance called Christ and God the Father (everlasting life), is wiser, richer, healthier and more truly prosperous than a believer who isn’t (Eph. 5:5).
The triune teaching in Christ are the enlightenments on Faith, Hope and Charity. They are to purify our souls-so we thereby escape the corruption of this world; so we are prepared for seasons when corruption would be fully overcome: seasons when God would become our God (1Pet. 1:22, 2Pet. 1:4, Rev. 3:12).
A believer hasn’t really surrendered his life to Christ-as long as he hasn’t truly surrendered the worldly life within his soul. The doctrine of Christ empowers us to do so; to thereby become kings of Righteousness and peace (Lk. 12:15-31, 1Tim. 6:3, Heb. 7:2)
The Christian way is actually the way of Faith that is in Christ. It is God’s way of helping us become irresponsive to this world.
What makes a man potentially great in the sight of God is not anything that a natural man can seek, acquire or achieve (1Cor. 2:14, Heb. 11:16). Rather, it is what God has to help a man to seek by enlightening him on His great and precious promises; promises inherited for the first time by the man Christ Jesus; precious promises that can enable a man to inherit the light of God – eternally (Gen. 12:1, 2Pet. 1:3-4, Rev. 21:23-24).
The legitimate cares of this present life has been designed in a way and manner that most men would end up seeking it (food, clothing, shelter) at the expense of true life/inheritance (Christ). Such is the empowerment being offered by the gospel of Christ and God; whereby we can excel in doing the will of God because we are dead to or separated from the will of man.
The following inspired thoughts were born while ruminating around the word of righteousness. Soul salvation is exclusively God’s plan.
That word is called the word of righteousness because (among other things) it prepares believers to gain mastery of the righteousness of faith that is in Christ, so they can comprehend the actual word of God and inherit His genes – His righteousness. This word promises to help believers to inherit Christ and to subsequently have God as the true possession of their soul – even while on earth.
So we will need to be armed with the principles/wisdom of Christ, to use/deal with this world as though we don’t; to be unspotted by it until we beat the princes/wisdom of this world in their ploy (Prov. 8:16, 1Cor. 1:30/2:6-8/7:31).
The Lord is presently raising an army on earth! The sound doctrine of His faith is their watchword; it is the sound or alarm that gathers them (Eph. 4:13a).
