2 Corinthians 1
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 3Iniquity is a high wisdom that can inspire even a spiritual man to keep a life that he is meant to hate, and thereafter, inherit the throne of God. The gospel of everlasting life that guarantees that honourable lifestyle is back again, it will keep us focused on seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness—until we inherit what Jesus inherited (God).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 116.Whenever we don’t fully recover from an unfavourable or painful experience, we won’t be able to respond to God from certain regions of our heart—until we keep the commandments or comforts of faith and love concerning it. As we see through the veil of peace that this world gives, journeying to inherit the peace of the Kingdom would become our new goal and meditation!
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 19)Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
- Subject: What is the relationship between the word of righteousness, the word of Christ and the word of GodThe word of righteousness is the hinge upon which the ministry of revelation (that reveals God’s righteousness) swings (2Cor. 3:9, Rom. 1:16-17). The Word of Christ and the Word of God are the two allocations of doctrine in the New Testament – that the word of righteousness skillfully reveals (Heb. 5:13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the google of Faith) – Part 107Most delays and/or denials to our prayers are therefore actually in our best interest, so that our future in God can be preserved. May we find grace to see and approach prayers in the same way that our Lord Jesus and His apostles did, so we can have their soul-impacting, generation-altering results.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 98The Lord has something to tell us about any thought, imagination or temptation that the devil brings our way; He has a right judgment/righteousness to whisper to our hearing, because He has been there before. The New Testament is therefore a provision that keeps shining light to our darkness; even into our inward and hidden parts, until what concerns us – like David – would be what concerns the Lord.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 63It is only while being wholeheartedly enlightened on Christ, even His Faith, that a believer would realize for the first time what his primary and uttermost need in life is, which is to be able to love as God loves, by having the Son and Father find an abode in him. The gospel can go as far as causing us to partake of God’s glory, as long as we can humble ourselves to learn Christ or learn of His inward constitution of lowliness and meekness of heart.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 21The 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.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 19The excitements that the world offers is not a substitute for the joy of the Lord. Submission at all levels remains a vital prescription for weeding out or overcoming hidden natures or priestly infirmities like guile, envy, malice, hypocrisies, and evil speaking.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 15So only the thoughts OF God (Rom. 1:17) can handle and overcome every other thought that is morally sound, intellectually appealing and religiously correct but yet spiritually infirm. Righteousness remains an abundant commodity of the throne though scarce in the church and on earth, because we are yet to place the right premium on it – we don’t seek it like we seek things that have commercial value!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 10So the actual answer to our desires is in our souls becoming a new creation – not in corruptible things remaining new.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 18THE 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).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 9God has called us to seek an inheritance; a life that was never invented! He has and would continue to bless men with wisdom for witty inventions, but believers must be ready to treat them like God treats the works of His hands – “i.e. don’t be attached to them” like God is so unattached to heaven that he wants to “leave heaven”(P) and indwell men that have been decked with true riches/eternal glory.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 1The Gospel was initially the Gospel of God (Rom. 1:1). It was God’s Treasured Possession before heaven, earth or man was created.
2 Corinthians 2
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 9).Our greatest need was provided before it ever existed (Rev 13:8b). True security in these days we live in would be a function of how incorruptible we have become or how much of corruption our soul lost; even by the acquisition of divine power (2Pet. 1:3-4).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 91The day that a believer dares to start living in the sight of the Lord is the day he starts counting as losses, things that were gain to him while he was in love with this world; while on a self-seeking adventure with the life-draining life that exists without (or outside) Christ (Phil. 3:7).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 27This world and the system driving it – carefully baptizes men into its ways and its righteousness. It uses various forms of communication to keep painting and embossing upon the hearts of men, a hope of reward, or of gain outside godliness, or of self-gratification, so that men would conform to it.
2 Corinthians 3
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- A Closer Look @ Loving Not This World (Sin) Until We Can Truly Hate It – Part 1The everlasting gospel was therefore given to help us to perfect the act and art of hating this world, even as we completely love the truth that is in the Father (Heb. 5:14, 1Jn. 5:4-5, 2Jn. 1:1-4).
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 1The everlasting gospel was therefore given to help us perfect the act and art of hating this world, even as we completely love the truth that is in the Father.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 3Iniquity is a high wisdom that can inspire even a spiritual man to keep a life that he is meant to hate, and thereafter, inherit the throne of God. The gospel of everlasting life that guarantees that honourable lifestyle is back again, it will keep us focused on seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness—until we inherit what Jesus inherited (God).
- Urgency for Life – Part 2A believer who will discern and come over it, will have to do so by everlasting righteousness; by journeying from the righteousness of faith in Christ to that of God the Father. We confront such fallen glories by the glory that everlasting life seasonally confers upon the soul; the glory that prepares us to see the God of glory and attain the rest of eternal life.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 5Those who break free from trusting in money are those who break into the dawning of God’s day by trusting in the living God; the everlasting Father. Through spiritual and divine understanding of the faith in Christ and the love that is in the Son of God, believers are meant to hasten into an everlasting and eternal economy in God; a new civilization or world to come order that will replace everything in man and amongst nations that can be traced to Babylon.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 15).The soul acquires spiritual immunity by spiritual understanding; by understanding what the Lord has said or is saying (1Cor. 14:20, Col. 1:9-10). Only by not counting our lives dear to ourselves or living like those who ended up inheriting eternal life – can we end up being victorious against it or not negotiate with it along the way (1Cor. 15, Acts 20:24, Lk. 14:31-32).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 13).The following are inspired thoughts I found grace to fetch, while celebrating the word of righteousness and attempting to acknowledge the truth that would birth in us – the hope of eternal life.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 11).It will take the feasts (and trials) of the faith of the Son of God to break that yoke; and to empower us to live in God’s sight – like we never imagined (Gal. 2:20, Isa. 55:2-3, Luk. 16:15. Hos. 6:1-3). Nothing is new under the sun but the word of righteousness – moving into hearts and into nations (Hab. 2:14).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 2).The following inspired thoughts were born while ruminating around the word of righteousness. Soul salvation is exclusively God’s plan.
- Subject: What is the relationship between the word of righteousness, the word of Christ and the word of GodThe word of righteousness is the hinge upon which the ministry of revelation (that reveals God’s righteousness) swings (2Cor. 3:9, Rom. 1:16-17). The Word of Christ and the Word of God are the two allocations of doctrine in the New Testament – that the word of righteousness skillfully reveals (Heb. 5:13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 81To change a man’s hope, ministers of the word of righteousness have to carefully and consistently paint the hope of the gospel to them, until Christ becomes their new captivity; like the world once was. The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many carnal believers who are in heaven.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 77Following Jesus includes following His footsteps that saw Him use: the warmth; imperfections; weaknesses; forwardness; wickedness and folly of different men to grow up spiritually and then divinely; such that He became the Christ and then the Son of God. The light in the epistles remains our only guarantee of freedom from the grip of money and from the influence of the arrangement of this world.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 52So the revelations of God’s righteousness in Christ came to enlighten and empower us with the conversations of life and godliness, so we can handle the lustful and corrupt system he created; one that makes men to seek everything else but the will and kingdom of God.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 51.But the knowledge of salvation inspires us to be meek; it calls us to a soul-saving repentance that should see us become meek and ultimately meek and lowly at heart (1Cor. 8:1-2, 2Cor. 10:12, Lk. 1:77, Eph. 4:1-2). He is as close to being helped the day he realizes that the worship of mammon, through the love of this world, is the primary competition to the true worship of God (Matt. 6:19-24, Jam. 4:4, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 37There can be no entrance into the New Testament if we don’t acknowledge we have darkness within us, such that can only be treated with the same instrument of light and commitment to the central message of the Bible like it was found with the early church (1Jn. 1:5, Jam. 1:17).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 33Nothing stands between our past and future like unbelief, and even after the workings of the mystery of Christ has been unveiled to us, unbelief will still show up, reason with us, and beg to be entertained like it did to Adam in Eden, to spiritually mature brethren like the Hebrew Church, and to our Lord Jesus while heading for the Cross (Heb. 3:12). So we need to also learn and understand the name/nature/mystery of the Father, and of God, to become fully immune to and overcome unbelief (Col. 2:2, Matt. 28:19).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 15So only the thoughts OF God (Rom. 1:17) can handle and overcome every other thought that is morally sound, intellectually appealing and religiously correct but yet spiritually infirm. Righteousness remains an abundant commodity of the throne though scarce in the church and on earth, because we are yet to place the right premium on it – we don’t seek it like we seek things that have commercial value!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 6The strength and blessedness of the New Testament is hinged on resurrection, and the goal of resurrection is to raise man from an estate called flesh (1Pet. 1:24) to one where a believer’s soul is seated with God!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- ANOTHER LOOK @ THE ESSENCE OF SONSHIP – Part 37The first “thing” and/or the first “land” that God wanted his true lovers to own, inherit or be rewarded with was God. Man was to inherit God and God was to inherit man, a process that is to be facilitated by the Holy Spirit who also supervises the addition of other things.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 36Elohim is both the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (Eph. 1:17), and wants to become exactly that to us. Satan was and remains a FATHER OF LIARS and God’s answer to him are FATHERS OF TRUTH (Jn. 8:44/Rev. 22:15f/2Jn. 1:1-4).
- True_Change_Is_Imminent – Part 2We 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.
- True_Change_Is_ImminentThe 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!
- THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING ‘WHAT NEXT?’ – PART 1Rather than fall back to our cerebral strength or our carnal minds which remains at enmity with God; we should acknowledge that God is up to something unplanned – that should lead to the healing of our soul. Through their lives, we clearly see that, “one of the most potent seasons when faith actually flourishes is when we don’t know what’s next”.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 7As long as the church is not exposed to the face ministry of Christ, believers would continue to be limited in their calling to KNOW, OBEY and INHERIT God. We must be Built Up during our journey on earth, so that like the Lord, we can inherit a New Name needed to function through an ageless new heavens and earth, amen.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 4The singular motive of the Gospel of Christ is to ultimately grant believers access to partake of the Righteousness of God, the Peace of God and the Joy of the Lord. May we be foolish enough before the world to embrace the actual gospel of Christ while it is available to us, amen.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 1The Gospel was initially the Gospel of God (Rom. 1:1). It was God’s Treasured Possession before heaven, earth or man was created.
2 Corinthians 4
- Practical Counsels for Living the Life of Faith. Pt 1For the devil to steal life from our soul, we simply have to respond to a self-seeking thought or to take a well-dressed thought around a life we still cherish outside the Faith (Christ). Anxiety is an unarmed robber!
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 4A believer, who will overcome iniquity, is one who has to excel in judging himself daily like Paul did; one who will acknowledge that he still has unknown tendencies to respond to his own lust (iniquity), because he is yet to totally disown corruption or become incorruptible, even by fully partaking of the divine nature (Acts 24:16, Jas. 1:14, 2Pet. 1:4)
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 2The season when our souls locate and abide in a new abode called the doctrine of Christ is the season when we have come over the love for the (old) things that are in this world; things under the influence of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (2Jn. 1:9, 2Cor. 5:17, 1Jn. 2:15b).
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 4Going into perfection is moving into a season of a higher obedience, where we use the light of love rather than use the light of faith. The knowledge of salvation, or of the truth that is in the Father, or of the unknown, is the only prescription for this, for therein is the comfort of the true light that would help us see the end of all things.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 3Iniquity is a high wisdom that can inspire even a spiritual man to keep a life that he is meant to hate, and thereafter, inherit the throne of God. The gospel of everlasting life that guarantees that honourable lifestyle is back again, it will keep us focused on seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness—until we inherit what Jesus inherited (God).
- Urgency for Life – Part 2A believer who will discern and come over it, will have to do so by everlasting righteousness; by journeying from the righteousness of faith in Christ to that of God the Father. We confront such fallen glories by the glory that everlasting life seasonally confers upon the soul; the glory that prepares us to see the God of glory and attain the rest of eternal life.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 5Those who break free from trusting in money are those who break into the dawning of God’s day by trusting in the living God; the everlasting Father. Through spiritual and divine understanding of the faith in Christ and the love that is in the Son of God, believers are meant to hasten into an everlasting and eternal economy in God; a new civilization or world to come order that will replace everything in man and amongst nations that can be traced to Babylon.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 126The litmus test behind the trials and temptations that come the way of those who have profited with the faith of the Son or who are being introduced to everlasting life, is to prove their ability not to be offended – or to still trust the Father when His seeming inaction to their plight doesn’t go down well with them. The Lord permits them to try or further purify our faith, and to bring us back to living on our knees – especially after we have escaped doing so for a while.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 121.The Faith that is in Christ guarantees us victory; not only over our unfavorable looking past or our unpleasant-looking situations, but also over the source of all problem (flesh). It empowers us to take our eyes off things, off men and off ourselves—and thereby starves our fleshy (carnal) nature from thriving (Col. 3:9-14, 2Cor. 4:18, Rom. 4:19-20).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 118.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.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 19)Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 17).The following are musings fetched while ruminating around the only word that promises to raise many Kings of righteousness in our generation. The Cross of Jesus is the only exemplary lifestyle that was documented for everyone who would end up pleasing God well (Heb. 13:21).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 16).The following are inspired thoughts around how soon sin can be quarantined; musings on how the faith (that has been authorized for use in sinful flesh) can reign like fear presently does. God is bringing every serious or sincere believer to a place where they primarily do one thing: seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness; and to a season where every other goal in life would queue behind that of seeking first the Kingdom (Matt. 6:33).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 11).It will take the feasts (and trials) of the faith of the Son of God to break that yoke; and to empower us to live in God’s sight – like we never imagined (Gal. 2:20, Isa. 55:2-3, Luk. 16:15. Hos. 6:1-3). Nothing is new under the sun but the word of righteousness – moving into hearts and into nations (Hab. 2:14).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 8).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).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 4).The true measure of our spiritual growth last year was traceable to how well we used our time and resources in a different way from natural men or carnal believers, and how well we fought the good fight of not taking thought for our lives (Matt. 6:25-34). Only thereby could we have confronted the hope of this world and inched closer to the hope of the gospel (Col. 1:27).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 2).The following inspired thoughts were born while ruminating around the word of righteousness. Soul salvation is exclusively God’s plan.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 91The day that a believer dares to start living in the sight of the Lord is the day he starts counting as losses, things that were gain to him while he was in love with this world; while on a self-seeking adventure with the life-draining life that exists without (or outside) Christ (Phil. 3:7).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 80The best manifestation of heaven on earth, or of the will of God in our lives; or the finest interpretation of godliness in the days of our flesh, was designed to take place here on earth. Only by this faith can we be empowered to naturally hate sin until our souls become an irresistible habitation for Christ; a place He would indwell by His faith.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 72Our peace is meant to come from bearing the cross of Christ that promises to crucify the world within and without us (Gal. 5:24/6:14). Take away that same philosophy of gain, away from the Church by the preaching of the gospel, and she would evolve in beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 68God the Father reserves the right to, and His infinite wisdom, won’t allow some believers come into any substantial material increase because it’s clear to Him that, like the young rich man, they won’t keep the commandments meant to enable them secure a good foundation called Christ thereby, and therefore would fall short of laying hold on eternal life. One of the most difficult things for a believer to do at some critical season of life is to, like father Abraham, believe in hope against hope or to keep believing when the dividends of doing so would take many years to come forth; or to dare to always trust the Lord when all the odds are against doing so, even when the devil is using all he can lay hold on to fight them from continuing.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 64What the light of the epistles seek to do, is to help all men as it exposes to them, the actual hope designed for their souls which is meant to anchor our souls on our voyage/journey back to God. It enlightens us on how to place the right value on the economy/lifestyle that Christ’s faith offers, so they can become free from the grip/influence of this world and of things present; and also free to serve or truly love the Lord (1Cor. 6:12, Lk. 1:74).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 61.But when the primary life pursuit of a soul is God’s life, a believer would have to leverage the divine power that flows from the Faith Christ authored, to handle money as a servant and gradually end its reign as a master. No man can resist the pull or love of money, who hasn’t tenaciously followed after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness (1Tim. 6:10-12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 58The world resident in men and through men can only make us feel insecure or look/think inferior with our consent, and it can only secure such consent from us through our ignorance of the promise of inheriting God’s life. There is something that overcoming this world and the wicked one means to God; and it must mean the same thing to us.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 37There can be no entrance into the New Testament if we don’t acknowledge we have darkness within us, such that can only be treated with the same instrument of light and commitment to the central message of the Bible like it was found with the early church (1Jn. 1:5, Jam. 1:17).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 1Christ’s faith is a goggle that should be used to view every conversation under the sun, to undress every thought since it has something to say concerning every imagination of the heart.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 16So nothing weakens believers like living by sight. Living by faith (i.e. esteeming the leading of the Spirit) on the contrary takes Christ’s power, which enables us to deny this present life.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 12The gospel belongs to Christ because Christ owns the power that saves; that separates man from what makes him CARNALLY NATURAL to what would make him DIVINELY NATURAL – i.e. a man with God’s image. The consecration upon Christ causes every soul that comes in contact with him while journeying unto a state and abode called salvation (God), to be kept and given immunity against sin (i.e. against the power of darkness – Acts 26:18).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 11The gospel of Christ empowers believers to live according to a life that is higher than corruption and superior to the wisdom driving this world; a life that is strictly inspired by things above, things beyond the hearing of the ears and the sight of natural eyes. If we would inherit the same of crown of righteousness that Paul made reference to in 2Tim. 4:8, then we would have to walk by the same spirit of faith like he did, endure the reproaches that accompanies Christ’s riches and appreciate in our inward (soul) state.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 9So the key to multiplying, replenishing the earth, subduing it and having dominion is dependent on one thing – on being fruitful i.e. seeing the subject of Faith like Christ and his apostles did. It begins the day Christ Jesus is being unveiled to a soul (Rom. 16:25-26/Col. 1:27-28).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 7CHRIST IS THE LAW AND DOMINION OF GOD THAT CRUSHES AND HALTS THE DOMINION OF SIN WHEN SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED, TAUGHT IN A MANNER THAT ESTABLISHES (Rom. 16:25/Col. 2:7). SIN DREADS THE HIDDEN CIVILIZATION OF GOD’S FAITH – THAT ADAM FAILED TO LEARN AND ADVENTURE!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 2The soul of man is a vessel meant to house the treasure called the light of the knowledge of the glory of God! So in Christ Jesus, we learn to LIVE from above, and while living, we MOVE in the right direction – GODWARD.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 34God is committed to this cause of making us in His image and Likeness – the true man, and he has been blessing his saints with an unusual thirst for waters of life like never before.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 18THE 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).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 13It is a destiny defining moment for believers, when the eyes of their heart receives adequate light to see the emphasis the Lord places on who they are in God’s sight, rather than what they do for Him. The instructions embedded in the epistles are meant to help us carry our cross daily until we can delightfully deny ourselves of things that are lawful or legitimate (our rights/righteousness) and receive things that are advantageous (God’s righteousness).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 8Our understanding of God’s secrets would ultimately determine whether we would ultimately “make it to heaven” or “make it to the father. These are the two soul-states of those who won’t and those who would inherit the true riches/inheritance that has been stored up in Christ Jesus(F)
- True_Change_Is_ImminentThe 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!
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 7As long as the church is not exposed to the face ministry of Christ, believers would continue to be limited in their calling to KNOW, OBEY and INHERIT God. We must be Built Up during our journey on earth, so that like the Lord, we can inherit a New Name needed to function through an ageless new heavens and earth, amen.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 4The singular motive of the Gospel of Christ is to ultimately grant believers access to partake of the Righteousness of God, the Peace of God and the Joy of the Lord. May we be foolish enough before the world to embrace the actual gospel of Christ while it is available to us, amen.
2 Corinthians 5
- A Closer Look @ Loving Not This World (Sin) Until We Can Truly Hate It – Part 1The everlasting gospel was therefore given to help us to perfect the act and art of hating this world, even as we completely love the truth that is in the Father (Heb. 5:14, 1Jn. 5:4-5, 2Jn. 1:1-4).
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money – Part 6The Faith in Christ provides our first escape from it, but it takes the Love of God to perfect our immunity from it (2Pet. 1:4, Jude vs. 21, 1Jn. 4:17-18). His freedom lies in the definition of life that is firstly found in Christ and then in the Father, and his reward for finding and keeping these twin expressions of life, is a reward called God (Eph. 4:18-20, Col. 2:2).
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 4A believer, who will overcome iniquity, is one who has to excel in judging himself daily like Paul did; one who will acknowledge that he still has unknown tendencies to respond to his own lust (iniquity), because he is yet to totally disown corruption or become incorruptible, even by fully partaking of the divine nature (Acts 24:16, Jas. 1:14, 2Pet. 1:4)
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 2Iniquity 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).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 2The season when our souls locate and abide in a new abode called the doctrine of Christ is the season when we have come over the love for the (old) things that are in this world; things under the influence of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (2Jn. 1:9, 2Cor. 5:17, 1Jn. 2:15b).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 1The everlasting gospel was therefore given to help us perfect the act and art of hating this world, even as we completely love the truth that is in the Father.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 2The goal of the preaching of the gospel of Christ, is to make us passionate or free enough to love the truth that is in Christ; which alone can prepare us to receive the truth that is of the Father. To be separated unto the Father of all spirits or from sin and death, a believer simply has to deny ungodliness and shun worldly lusts to a place where he can stand and receive the judgments of everlasting righteousness, and thereby, be made perfect.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 3The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many believers who remained carnal while making it to heaven. Time is a gift for capturing the divine life; even the life of Jesus whom money diligently served and still serves.
- A Closer Look At The Quiet Love of Money or of What Money Can Do. – Pt. 2One good clue that money has become a servant to us, or ceased to be a master, is if our eyes and hearts have found rest in the living words of the Father, which alone can selflessly govern our use of money. There is nothing wrong in owning and enjoying things that money can provide or things that God still freely gives.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 131A 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.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 129The gospel of Christ is the (spiritual) power of God that limits every thought supervised by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world – from perching on our soul; every thought other than the righteousness of God in Christ. A new man (Christ) is born thereby; one who should receive divine life from the gospel of God (the Father); a life that will empower us against thoughts that are mostly supervised by spiritually wicked spirits in high places.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 120.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)
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 119.Christ is the true economy for the soul of every believer who wants to escape corruption. In His Faith is a program of life and godliness that separates us from this world — and make us godly.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 116.Whenever we don’t fully recover from an unfavourable or painful experience, we won’t be able to respond to God from certain regions of our heart—until we keep the commandments or comforts of faith and love concerning it. As we see through the veil of peace that this world gives, journeying to inherit the peace of the Kingdom would become our new goal and meditation!
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 19)Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 11).It will take the feasts (and trials) of the faith of the Son of God to break that yoke; and to empower us to live in God’s sight – like we never imagined (Gal. 2:20, Isa. 55:2-3, Luk. 16:15. Hos. 6:1-3). Nothing is new under the sun but the word of righteousness – moving into hearts and into nations (Hab. 2:14).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 10).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).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 8).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).
- Subject: What is the word of righteousness and why should believers who truly seek to know God – embrace it?The word of righteousness is a biblical doctrine that should be consistently communicated to a believer who has partaken of the foundational aspect of faith or who has been exposed to the elementary principles of milk (basic) faith (Eph. 1:15-17/Isa. 28:9, Heb. 6:1c-2). It is a doctrine (teaching) that enlightens and empowers its hearers on the right and only approved way to live in the flesh (Rom. 1:16-17, Jn. 1:11-12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 96So 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 93Faith, hope and Charity are dimensions in Christ where we break our agreements with this world and thereby fetch true riches. They are seasons of being empowered to understand Christ, through obedience to the Faith; until we are born as children in the Kingdom (Rom. 16:25-26, 1Jn. 2:12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 92Most self-seeking or innocent-looking thoughts that come our way and hang upon our hearts and mind, actually do so because they find one darkness or another in us, or one ignorance or lust that they quietly feed on (Jam. 1:14, 2Cor. 10:5). But when we strive or seek to gracefully fetch thoughts from heavenly places in Christ; or to make the law of God our daily mediation like David did, then: things or lusts that easily tempt us would increasingly lose their value because we are appreciating in being spiritually or Christ minded (Rom. 8:5-6).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 88The Lord wants to bring us to a place where, even when we want to take thought for tomorrow or for things the world as branded as life, we would not know how to go about it! His tool for this is His Gospel, which- when well taught and received – can fashion us to become fellows of another life (Christ); even as we gain possession of God’s revealed righteousness (Col. 2:6-7, 2Cor. 5:21, Heb. 1:9).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 85Waiting remains a key to being properly raised; waiting until we die to the excitement to manifest or do exploits without being built within; waiting until casualties in life and ministry are grossly minimized; even until Christ is conceived and well developed in the womb of our souls (Jn. 6:28-29/Jn. 1:11-12, Eph. 3:17). Only by the doctrine of Christ, can we discern, deny and gradually disown such thoughts; even until we receive from heaven, a clean bill of divorce from this world (Eph. 4:20, 1Jn. 5:4).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 84The 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 77Following Jesus includes following His footsteps that saw Him use: the warmth; imperfections; weaknesses; forwardness; wickedness and folly of different men to grow up spiritually and then divinely; such that He became the Christ and then the Son of God. The light in the epistles remains our only guarantee of freedom from the grip of money and from the influence of the arrangement of this world.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 76Whenever Christ is yet to become the source of our soul’s security, a vacuum of insecurity would exist; even such that would see our souls rather consider scenarios that are to our advantage or that won’t make us look vulnerable before others. But when a walk or an accord is selflessly born between parties against all odds; then, heaven (because of an activity of faith) would show up or manifest its presence in our hearts (Matt. 6:10, Lk. 18:8).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 72Our peace is meant to come from bearing the cross of Christ that promises to crucify the world within and without us (Gal. 5:24/6:14). Take away that same philosophy of gain, away from the Church by the preaching of the gospel, and she would evolve in beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 68God the Father reserves the right to, and His infinite wisdom, won’t allow some believers come into any substantial material increase because it’s clear to Him that, like the young rich man, they won’t keep the commandments meant to enable them secure a good foundation called Christ thereby, and therefore would fall short of laying hold on eternal life. One of the most difficult things for a believer to do at some critical season of life is to, like father Abraham, believe in hope against hope or to keep believing when the dividends of doing so would take many years to come forth; or to dare to always trust the Lord when all the odds are against doing so, even when the devil is using all he can lay hold on to fight them from continuing.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 67The greatest hope that a believer can/should have today, is that of inheriting God’s life or of bringing it into his flesh (Tit. 1:1-2/3:7, Rom. 5:2b). The greatest lifetime thanksgiving that should accompany this, is concerning the opportunity given to us to hear the voice of the Son of God on this so great inheritance.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 58The world resident in men and through men can only make us feel insecure or look/think inferior with our consent, and it can only secure such consent from us through our ignorance of the promise of inheriting God’s life. There is something that overcoming this world and the wicked one means to God; and it must mean the same thing to us.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 55The 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.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 33Nothing stands between our past and future like unbelief, and even after the workings of the mystery of Christ has been unveiled to us, unbelief will still show up, reason with us, and beg to be entertained like it did to Adam in Eden, to spiritually mature brethren like the Hebrew Church, and to our Lord Jesus while heading for the Cross (Heb. 3:12). So we need to also learn and understand the name/nature/mystery of the Father, and of God, to become fully immune to and overcome unbelief (Col. 2:2, Matt. 28:19).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 26Fear abounds in every sphere and conversation of life where God’s power (i.e. Christ) doesn’t constantly prevail, and it seeks to stop us from disinheriting the life offered to us by the world – so we don’t attain unto our true life and inheritance in Christ, and thereby journey into a place called fullness; of our eternal inheritance; even the Father.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 18Conflicting definitions of blessings littering the earth has caused many believers to lose touch with the true definition of blessing which was only revealed in the New Testament. We were added to the church/saved (Acts 2:47/13:48) – for one purpose – to be fully saved which is to inherit eternal life or to have the Father and Son or to be truly blessed.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 15So only the thoughts OF God (Rom. 1:17) can handle and overcome every other thought that is morally sound, intellectually appealing and religiously correct but yet spiritually infirm. Righteousness remains an abundant commodity of the throne though scarce in the church and on earth, because we are yet to place the right premium on it – we don’t seek it like we seek things that have commercial value!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 10So the actual answer to our desires is in our souls becoming a new creation – not in corruptible things remaining new.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 4We can receive, internalize and naturalize with the Light called Christ such that He becomes our personal possession, and this is the goal of the New Testament. In a nutshell, we need our first spiritual eyes called Wisdom and Understanding (Eph. 1:18/Col. 1:9c/Prov. 7:4)
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 1This is the description of the man in Christ, the corporate Christ that finds grace to trade the genetic makeup of his soul for that of God until he fully learns God – like Jesus did! God has committed unto our generation, the knowledge that saves the soul; the knowledge of the power of God which through Christ’s Faith leads to the salvation of our souls.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 33Barely beholding the behavior of infants (little children) would remind us of how unnatural it is to see adults who are child-like at heart or children of the kingdom! So the first mission of the blood of Jesus is to take away sin from our souls (Matt. 26:28), while the last mission of the blood is to take away (spiritual) death from our souls
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 28I have no iota of doubt that one fervent desire that always resonate in the heart of God is to raise believers to become citizens of the New Heaven, and the only way this can be wrought is by gradually imparting the same righteousness to their souls that was instantaneously imparted into their human spirit when it was quickened from the dead. So God’s original intent from the foundation of the world was to raise man with his own fabric of righteousness – the Righteousness OF God that would cause man to judge exactly like he does.
- Urgent Vacancy For Men of The Future – Part 6God 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_Change_Is_Imminent – Part 3True 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).
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 6Romans chapter 1 therefore lets us to know that THE GOSPEL is the storehouse of the Revelational materials meant for the building of the true Church (1Cor. 3:10-12). A key chapter of the Christian faith has begun! Worthy seekers and loving inquirers are being raised and we must seek the Christ until we are counted worthy of being his fellows that would be anointed with the same oil of gladness (Ps. 45:7/Heb. 1:9).
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 4The singular motive of the Gospel of Christ is to ultimately grant believers access to partake of the Righteousness of God, the Peace of God and the Joy of the Lord. May we be foolish enough before the world to embrace the actual gospel of Christ while it is available to us, amen.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 2The actual Gospel of Christ unveils God through teachings that reveal Christ (Rom. 16:25b/Eph. 3:3-4) that helps believers in their journey back to The Father (Jn. 13:3)! As churches begin to open their doors to it, the present emphasis on various subjects would change and God’s Glorious/Eternal Power would be unlocked and sons (matured saints) would be born.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 1The Gospel was initially the Gospel of God (Rom. 1:1). It was God’s Treasured Possession before heaven, earth or man was created.
2 Corinthians 6
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 3We need to add contentment to our godly formation, to subdue all thoughts that can come from unrighteous mammon; to overcome all the pull that can come from what money can do. Christ would then become our life-dominant thought and source of contentment.
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 2And what the gospel of God (or of life everlasting and eternal) is now doing is to perfect our victory over mammon, so we can walk in love with God. A believer who attains the joy of the Father that enables him to consistently despise the god of this world (mammon) is divinely wiser than a believer who hasn’t.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money – Part 9When money isn’t regulated by a nature, wisdom or commandment that is in the Holy Ghost, in the Son or in the Father, it will become a filthy lucre that serves purposes that are either filthy or earthly, sensual or devilish.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 6One essence of the word of righteousness is to purify our motives and thoughts, so we can selflessly relate with the world and the things in her, become fully separated from it, and then take the Father’s commandments. Only thereby would we gain possession of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, begin to comprehend the actual word of God, and ultimately, inherit the law of God.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money – Part 7Money drives the kingdoms of this world; it answers to everything there, and the actual season when the love of it would be overcome is after a believer has been empowered through the feast of charity (Christ) to seek first the everlasting Kingdom of God and its righteousness. Only then would money become a servant and cease to be a master that gratifies our carnal nature.
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Urgency for Life – Part 1The holy place is the operating theatre where they treat and heal us of the diseases of the soul that can be traced to the (spiritual) death that Adam partook of; that exposed us to a dominion called sin and death, and then necessitated the authoring of the faith of the Son of God; the lifestyle for freedom from sin and death.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 3The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many believers who remained carnal while making it to heaven. Time is a gift for capturing the divine life; even the life of Jesus whom money diligently served and still serves.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 130The goal of the faith of the Son (of God) is to help us live like principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world – don’t exist; it is to help us keep doing so until the mind or age called Christ – is fully formed in us. God has been giving victory over such enemies, to those who have sheepishly followed the faith of the New Testament; those who have taken it as personal as men take monetary matters.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 129The gospel of Christ is the (spiritual) power of God that limits every thought supervised by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world – from perching on our soul; every thought other than the righteousness of God in Christ. A new man (Christ) is born thereby; one who should receive divine life from the gospel of God (the Father); a life that will empower us against thoughts that are mostly supervised by spiritually wicked spirits in high places.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 128To be delivered from the hands of our enemies is to be deaf and numb to the thoughts and feelings that they peddle, or to be separated from the fears, laws, wisdom and reach of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world (Lk. 1:71a, Rom. 8:1-2). A believer can only be made wiser than principalities, powers and/or rulers of the darkness of this world, by hearing and keeping the name (or doctrine) of Christ called faith, hope and Charity (1Cor. 13:4-13).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 123.The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Faith to weigh and filter various thoughts from conversations under the sun, on another blessed day. Nothing heals us from being insecure like walking from Faith – through Hope – unto Charity; like adding virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and Charity—to our faith.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 117.The Peace of God is an umpire meant to keep our heart and mind focused on attaining our eternal inheritance (God). We can attain it if we resolve to live by the faith of the Son of God; even until we overcome the temptation to settle for anything less than God (Phil. 4:7, 2 Pet. 3:14, Gal. 2:20).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 114.Seasons where nothing seems to be working outwardly are when the Lord wants to expose our fears and make us secured in Christ. Only then can we walk with the light of the fear of the Lord and seek to be eternally secured with God or with the fullness of His life (Deu. 8:2, Isa. 11:2-3, Eph. 3:17-20).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 18).The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 11).It will take the feasts (and trials) of the faith of the Son of God to break that yoke; and to empower us to live in God’s sight – like we never imagined (Gal. 2:20, Isa. 55:2-3, Luk. 16:15. Hos. 6:1-3). Nothing is new under the sun but the word of righteousness – moving into hearts and into nations (Hab. 2:14).
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness (Part 2)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.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 110.If a soul can hold or keep grudge for 53 years, we should be able to keep or hold unto faith for much longer; unto the end or until we lay hold on eternal life? What the faith that is in Christ does is to bring us there; to a place where we would take seriously the feasts of faith to Charity, so we can be empowered to live (in our flesh) by the faith of the Son.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 99Offence is inevitable – as long as the world remains (Matt. 18:7). One primary way that heaven enlarges the narrowness of the human heart/mind, is by taking us through seasons and experiences where we would be taught to delightfully serve and seek things that are in the interest of others (2Cor. 6:3-13).
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 94Time primarily should be a count of life – for capturing life; which when selflessly used, would cause us to acquire (true) life; even the life of a person (Christ) whom money diligently served and still serves (Matt. 6:33).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 88The Lord wants to bring us to a place where, even when we want to take thought for tomorrow or for things the world as branded as life, we would not know how to go about it! His tool for this is His Gospel, which- when well taught and received – can fashion us to become fellows of another life (Christ); even as we gain possession of God’s revealed righteousness (Col. 2:6-7, 2Cor. 5:21, Heb. 1:9).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 82There are sufferings that are supervised by the Holy Spirit; that come against our carnal nature; which God has ordained for every New Testament believer that would ever cease from sin and inherit God’s life (1Pet. 4:1). Heaven approves of such experiences when a believer needs to be helped from his carnal status and given the new status of a new man called Christ.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 76Whenever Christ is yet to become the source of our soul’s security, a vacuum of insecurity would exist; even such that would see our souls rather consider scenarios that are to our advantage or that won’t make us look vulnerable before others. But when a walk or an accord is selflessly born between parties against all odds; then, heaven (because of an activity of faith) would show up or manifest its presence in our hearts (Matt. 6:10, Lk. 18:8).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 72Our peace is meant to come from bearing the cross of Christ that promises to crucify the world within and without us (Gal. 5:24/6:14). Take away that same philosophy of gain, away from the Church by the preaching of the gospel, and she would evolve in beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 67The greatest hope that a believer can/should have today, is that of inheriting God’s life or of bringing it into his flesh (Tit. 1:1-2/3:7, Rom. 5:2b). The greatest lifetime thanksgiving that should accompany this, is concerning the opportunity given to us to hear the voice of the Son of God on this so great inheritance.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 57The 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.
- looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 56Nothing competes with eternal blessings like the pull behind carnal or natural blessings; and the only way we can manage this pull is by being trained to keep the commandments of Faith and Love in Christ Jesus, so we can bring the life and conversation of the world to come which resides in God into our flesh/daily lives. How does Christ gather such scattered souls? By the leading of the Spirit – where various unhealthy busyness and hustling are trimmed down – so we can see the idols of our soul and turn from them.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 51.But the knowledge of salvation inspires us to be meek; it calls us to a soul-saving repentance that should see us become meek and ultimately meek and lowly at heart (1Cor. 8:1-2, 2Cor. 10:12, Lk. 1:77, Eph. 4:1-2). He is as close to being helped the day he realizes that the worship of mammon, through the love of this world, is the primary competition to the true worship of God (Matt. 6:19-24, Jam. 4:4, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 38When the peace kept in the gospel becomes the inheritance we seek, ownership of the power kept in the gospel of Christ would become inevitable. The most beautiful and tangible experience the soul of man can have on earth is an adventure of the life being offered by the Christian faith – when sought in its truest and purest form.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 29The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 18The philosophy of Faith also, is MORE; more of things to come, an abundance of the righteous substances of eternal life – for the saving of our souls (Heb. 10:34, 2Pet 3:13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 14Keeping the precepts of Faith unto Charity cleanses us from our known and unknown love for this world and rids us of our known and unknown fears, so Christ can come indwell us via His Faith. When every revelation of Christ that comes our way becomes a commandment we keep, then inheriting the gospel of Christ or living by the power of God actually becomes inevitable.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 13To take a man’s eyes completely off himself and to place it on the Lord is a working miracle that is guaranteed only by the New Testament. The epistles are the training/instruction manuals to get this done, so we can be enabled to live perhaps 90% differently; live from above like Jesus and His apostles did.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 20“the true test of the strength of a man is in his ability to wait”. With a better understanding today, I can now add to that, “on the Lord – for God”.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 19Waiting to acquire life first has always been the toughest and wisest thing to do – because of our common adversary. So waiting was (and remains) a culture of the Spirit that men laid down their lives for – and became the elders/sons of God of their day (Gen. 6:2/Lk. 3:38/Rom. 8:14-19/Heb. 11:4-7/Rev. 12:11).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 17Like most developments in companies don’t earn the attention of great CEO’s, so also do most happenings on earth don’t earn the personal attention of the devil! But when an activity involves the transportation and nurturing of the seed of God (1Pet. 1:22-23/1Jn. 3:9), he fights it until he either overcomes the carrier of that precious seed (2Pet. 2:20/1Tim. 1:19-20/Jude 1:11-12) or until he is overcome in the process (Jn. 14:30/Rev. 12:11).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 14They came to a place where they saw sin in its true color because sin was an angelic problem (Eze. 28:14-15) that thrives when man attempts to solve it carnally, and it would take something higher and stronger than the angelic realm (i.e. God’s Love) to come over it!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 12The gospel belongs to Christ because Christ owns the power that saves; that separates man from what makes him CARNALLY NATURAL to what would make him DIVINELY NATURAL – i.e. a man with God’s image. The consecration upon Christ causes every soul that comes in contact with him while journeying unto a state and abode called salvation (God), to be kept and given immunity against sin (i.e. against the power of darkness – Acts 26:18).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 34God is committed to this cause of making us in His image and Likeness – the true man, and he has been blessing his saints with an unusual thirst for waters of life like never before.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 25Simply put, God earnestly wants to be known! He is “tired” of being unknown and perceived as “a mysterious God” by those whom he wants to indwell and walk in – those meant to become a fulfillment of the true definition of His people.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 24God therefore uses our so-called delays to separate us from the timing (race) of this present world and also employs the limitations that came via the fall of man (pain, lack, losses, tears, sicknesses and sorrow) to starve us of what we inherited from the first Adam (disobedience).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 14The 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!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 9God has called us to seek an inheritance; a life that was never invented! He has and would continue to bless men with wisdom for witty inventions, but believers must be ready to treat them like God treats the works of His hands – “i.e. don’t be attached to them” like God is so unattached to heaven that he wants to “leave heaven”(P) and indwell men that have been decked with true riches/eternal glory.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 8Our understanding of God’s secrets would ultimately determine whether we would ultimately “make it to heaven” or “make it to the father. These are the two soul-states of those who won’t and those who would inherit the true riches/inheritance that has been stored up in Christ Jesus(F)
- True_Change_Is_Imminent – Part 3True 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).
- Becoming SOMEBODY By Becoming NOBODY – Part 3God’s glory only follows the-faith-building-trials-of-Christ (1Pet. 1:11/5:1), and this takes place as we allow the dismantling of the wrong life (disobedience/death/darkness), which we all inherited in the first Adam but have been destroying IN Christ Jesus (2Tim. 1:10).
- Becoming SOMEBODY By Becoming NOBODY – Part 2This knowledge is what would install in us, New Things of God (Rev. 21:5/7), which in turn would make us NOBODY BEFORE THIS OLD CREATION, but gradually and ultimately make us SOMEBODY BEFORE THE NEW CREATION. Such Christ-Like, Child-Like humility is the legal ground that God needs to exalt us with the exaltation that comes with His Righteousness (Prov. 13:34/Phil 2:9).
2 Corinthians 7
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 117.The Peace of God is an umpire meant to keep our heart and mind focused on attaining our eternal inheritance (God). We can attain it if we resolve to live by the faith of the Son of God; even until we overcome the temptation to settle for anything less than God (Phil. 4:7, 2 Pet. 3:14, Gal. 2:20).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 16).The following are inspired thoughts around how soon sin can be quarantined; musings on how the faith (that has been authorized for use in sinful flesh) can reign like fear presently does. God is bringing every serious or sincere believer to a place where they primarily do one thing: seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness; and to a season where every other goal in life would queue behind that of seeking first the Kingdom (Matt. 6:33).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 98The Lord has something to tell us about any thought, imagination or temptation that the devil brings our way; He has a right judgment/righteousness to whisper to our hearing, because He has been there before. The New Testament is therefore a provision that keeps shining light to our darkness; even into our inward and hidden parts, until what concerns us – like David – would be what concerns the Lord.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 82There are sufferings that are supervised by the Holy Spirit; that come against our carnal nature; which God has ordained for every New Testament believer that would ever cease from sin and inherit God’s life (1Pet. 4:1). Heaven approves of such experiences when a believer needs to be helped from his carnal status and given the new status of a new man called Christ.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 78To have a heart after God is to have a heart that fights other alternative plans for life – if God doesn’t show up; plans that would always compete with or limit us from truly looking up to God and not to men. Whenever the enlightenment of the gospel invades our hearts or journeys into the recesses of our hearts, we would begin to see ourselves, men and also see things differently.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 61.But when the primary life pursuit of a soul is God’s life, a believer would have to leverage the divine power that flows from the Faith Christ authored, to handle money as a servant and gradually end its reign as a master. No man can resist the pull or love of money, who hasn’t tenaciously followed after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness (1Tim. 6:10-12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 35The Lord God knows what type of job or which work environment would be best conducive for His plan to save our souls, and which isn’t. So we need to trust Him so we can ultimately move from His faith to His Father’s love, or from “now” to “then”
2 Corinthians 8
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 19)Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
- True_Change_Is_Imminent – Part 3True 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).
- Becoming “SOMEBODY” By Becoming “NOBODY” – Part 1According to God, the shortcut to becoming “SOMEBODY” is to be a “NOBODY” according to the standards of this world. The choice actually is ours!
2 Corinthians 10
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 3We need to add contentment to our godly formation, to subdue all thoughts that can come from unrighteous mammon; to overcome all the pull that can come from what money can do. Christ would then become our life-dominant thought and source of contentment.
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 2The season when our souls locate and abide in a new abode called the doctrine of Christ is the season when we have come over the love for the (old) things that are in this world; things under the influence of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (2Jn. 1:9, 2Cor. 5:17, 1Jn. 2:15b).
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 5Those who break free from trusting in money are those who break into the dawning of God’s day by trusting in the living God; the everlasting Father. Through spiritual and divine understanding of the faith in Christ and the love that is in the Son of God, believers are meant to hasten into an everlasting and eternal economy in God; a new civilization or world to come order that will replace everything in man and amongst nations that can be traced to Babylon.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 133How meek we are, can always be traced to how long we can continue to do what is right; especially when someone else – who is ignorant of the wise commandments from the Word of Righteousness – keeps doing what is wrong. Becoming meek is the most costly choice a man can make; by those who must be prepared to be despised by all those who haven’t despised this world.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 129The gospel of Christ is the (spiritual) power of God that limits every thought supervised by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world – from perching on our soul; every thought other than the righteousness of God in Christ. A new man (Christ) is born thereby; one who should receive divine life from the gospel of God (the Father); a life that will empower us against thoughts that are mostly supervised by spiritually wicked spirits in high places.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 128To be delivered from the hands of our enemies is to be deaf and numb to the thoughts and feelings that they peddle, or to be separated from the fears, laws, wisdom and reach of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world (Lk. 1:71a, Rom. 8:1-2). A believer can only be made wiser than principalities, powers and/or rulers of the darkness of this world, by hearing and keeping the name (or doctrine) of Christ called faith, hope and Charity (1Cor. 13:4-13).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 124The soul acquires spiritual immunity by spiritual understanding; by understanding what the Lord has said or is saying. While doing so, we would realize we have no past that isn’t useful in God’s hand, no teething present challenge that isn’t worth rejoicing about, and a future that should see us become comforters to many as long as we truly and fully entrust it in God’s hands.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 117.The Peace of God is an umpire meant to keep our heart and mind focused on attaining our eternal inheritance (God). We can attain it if we resolve to live by the faith of the Son of God; even until we overcome the temptation to settle for anything less than God (Phil. 4:7, 2 Pet. 3:14, Gal. 2:20).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 112.The best asset that man has ever had and kept, is the will of God, and the worst liability that man has ever kept, is the will of man. And only by the light of Faith and Love that is in Christ Jesus can we trade the latter for the former (Jn. 1:12-13, 1Tim. 1:14, Ps. 119:35).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 19)Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 18).The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 15).The soul acquires spiritual immunity by spiritual understanding; by understanding what the Lord has said or is saying (1Cor. 14:20, Col. 1:9-10). Only by not counting our lives dear to ourselves or living like those who ended up inheriting eternal life – can we end up being victorious against it or not negotiate with it along the way (1Cor. 15, Acts 20:24, Lk. 14:31-32).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 14).The following is a tribute to every intending or potential overcomer of sin, who has been given the honour to fight the good fight of faith or who is facing reactions from the gates of hell; even while jealously holding unto the enlightenment of Christ Jesus – the Son of God.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 13).The following are inspired thoughts I found grace to fetch, while celebrating the word of righteousness and attempting to acknowledge the truth that would birth in us – the hope of eternal life.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 12).Nothing threatens us from truly living by God’s power (Christ) like known and unknown alternatives we have to the life of faith; and the day we begin to see the need to deny such alternatives or not settle for less than a life fueled by God’s power (Christ) is the day we would be inspired to place the right premium on our daily bread; on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Father (Tit. 2:12, Matt. 6:9-11).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 11).It will take the feasts (and trials) of the faith of the Son of God to break that yoke; and to empower us to live in God’s sight – like we never imagined (Gal. 2:20, Isa. 55:2-3, Luk. 16:15. Hos. 6:1-3). Nothing is new under the sun but the word of righteousness – moving into hearts and into nations (Hab. 2:14).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 10).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).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 9).Our greatest need was provided before it ever existed (Rev 13:8b). True security in these days we live in would be a function of how incorruptible we have become or how much of corruption our soul lost; even by the acquisition of divine power (2Pet. 1:3-4).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 5).No man has really been helped in God’s sight, without being taught how not to take thoughts for his life; thoughts that limits us from becoming childlike at heart. Jesus’ teachings were therefore centered around how to empower men to seek and live from above, while taking thoughts born out of God’s righteousness; words that proceed from the Father’s mouth.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 3)Without the word of Christ and the word of God being received and kept over time, we cannot lay down our will and embrace/do God’s will, neither can we bring Him pleasure after the order of the New Testament. One proof of progressing with the Lord’s program to separate us from the world and its lusts, and one hint that we are making progress with His will is that, thoughts and images from the world that previously used to entice us or trouble our peace would increasingly become obsolete and would be replaced by thoughts that stream from God’s righteousness, which would become our new treasure (Lk. 12:31-34).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 2).The following inspired thoughts were born while ruminating around the word of righteousness. Soul salvation is exclusively God’s plan.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 1).The measure to which we are awake to God’s righteousness; even via the preaching and keeping of the gospel of Christ, is the measure to which we would become unresponsive to sin (unrighteousness); and to that degree would we be able to deny sin (this world), until doing so becomes a natural delight (1Cor. 15:34, 1Jn. 5:27, Ps. 119:47).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 99Offence is inevitable – as long as the world remains (Matt. 18:7). One primary way that heaven enlarges the narrowness of the human heart/mind, is by taking us through seasons and experiences where we would be taught to delightfully serve and seek things that are in the interest of others (2Cor. 6:3-13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 92Most self-seeking or innocent-looking thoughts that come our way and hang upon our hearts and mind, actually do so because they find one darkness or another in us, or one ignorance or lust that they quietly feed on (Jam. 1:14, 2Cor. 10:5). But when we strive or seek to gracefully fetch thoughts from heavenly places in Christ; or to make the law of God our daily mediation like David did, then: things or lusts that easily tempt us would increasingly lose their value because we are appreciating in being spiritually or Christ minded (Rom. 8:5-6).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 91The day that a believer dares to start living in the sight of the Lord is the day he starts counting as losses, things that were gain to him while he was in love with this world; while on a self-seeking adventure with the life-draining life that exists without (or outside) Christ (Phil. 3:7).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 89The righteousness judgments surrounding this faith, also help us to undress all thoughts; to see through their motives and discern those that want to snatch life from us on one hand, while offering us worldly sweets/dainties on the other hand.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 79There is no way our motive in life can be right, if – unlike God – our motivation in life isn’t to ultimately make known God’s power and glory. But as the eyes of our heart gets truly enlightened, we would begin a journey that should see us adventure the righteousness, peace and joy of God’s Kingdom; and, thereby, truly enjoy life – in its truest meaning.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 78To have a heart after God is to have a heart that fights other alternative plans for life – if God doesn’t show up; plans that would always compete with or limit us from truly looking up to God and not to men. Whenever the enlightenment of the gospel invades our hearts or journeys into the recesses of our hearts, we would begin to see ourselves, men and also see things differently.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 67The greatest hope that a believer can/should have today, is that of inheriting God’s life or of bringing it into his flesh (Tit. 1:1-2/3:7, Rom. 5:2b). The greatest lifetime thanksgiving that should accompany this, is concerning the opportunity given to us to hear the voice of the Son of God on this so great inheritance.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 65He is committed to empowering us for supernatural living and not to gratify our known/unknown lusts. So, the greatest obstacle or hindrance to our progress is not the devil but our ignorance or indifference to the counsels of the Lord on weightier matters of the New Testament.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 60By bringing a daily siege and a barrage of distracting thoughts against the mind of a believer whose primary goal is to be a stone in Zion, the devil seeks to discourage us to draw back from the Lord, or to place a low premium on the Faith He authored and finished. The gospel of Christ is what empowers us to do this by enlightening us on the perimeter of Christ’s walk, even His Faith.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 57The 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.
- looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 56Nothing competes with eternal blessings like the pull behind carnal or natural blessings; and the only way we can manage this pull is by being trained to keep the commandments of Faith and Love in Christ Jesus, so we can bring the life and conversation of the world to come which resides in God into our flesh/daily lives. How does Christ gather such scattered souls? By the leading of the Spirit – where various unhealthy busyness and hustling are trimmed down – so we can see the idols of our soul and turn from them.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith) – Part 54.One way we can know that the power of God (Christ) is becoming more tangible to us, is when those thoughts that used to unduly earn our attention/meditation, cease to do so; or when things that previously disturbed our peace, lose their potency.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 51.But the knowledge of salvation inspires us to be meek; it calls us to a soul-saving repentance that should see us become meek and ultimately meek and lowly at heart (1Cor. 8:1-2, 2Cor. 10:12, Lk. 1:77, Eph. 4:1-2). He is as close to being helped the day he realizes that the worship of mammon, through the love of this world, is the primary competition to the true worship of God (Matt. 6:19-24, Jam. 4:4, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 50.One strategic reason for the trials of faith is to deal with what makes us less contented with the life God offered us through the New Testament. So a day should come when every believer should glory in trials and tribulations, because only therein can we receive abundant entrance into God’s kingdom
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 37There can be no entrance into the New Testament if we don’t acknowledge we have darkness within us, such that can only be treated with the same instrument of light and commitment to the central message of the Bible like it was found with the early church (1Jn. 1:5, Jam. 1:17).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 34Not all believers have started to live in the sight of God. The warfare of the Christian faith is actually that of comprehension; that of exercising our inward eyes and ears, which are developed while learning Christ until we come to a place where we are made quick to see and judge as Christ once did at Jordan, and as He did as a full blown Son of God.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 23.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.
- Looking Inward & Outward (With the goggle of Faith) – Part 11There is a software encoded in Christ’s Faith that would always end up wearing out sin in us! No believer can escape the lustful pull to “build a city and a tower” or to “make a name for himself” or build a kingdom whose king is self if they don’t see themselves as strangers and pilgrims on earth – if they don’t restlessly seek a heavenly country in God – called God!
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 2A season where we can’t discern God’s expectation for our lives is a potentially wasted season, and one of the prescriptions for this is to meditate on the epistles day and night.
- PEEPING INTO 2017 – WHAT CAN WE DEDUCE BY THE HELP OF THE SPIRIT?Things that are truly new have two common denominators – they share in God’s purpose and they are received via customized learning experiences that always end up raising men to become custodians of the future civilization of truth (Jn. 16:13h).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 6So the warfare stated in Ephesians 6:14-17 is non-negotiable for any believer that is being prepared to overcome the world and attain sonship! It is not a warfare of the Outer Court where those who still SEEK GOD FOR THINGS can use the authority (first commission) that was placed upon the name of Jesus to cast out devils.
2 Corinthians 11
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 12).Nothing threatens us from truly living by God’s power (Christ) like known and unknown alternatives we have to the life of faith; and the day we begin to see the need to deny such alternatives or not settle for less than a life fueled by God’s power (Christ) is the day we would be inspired to place the right premium on our daily bread; on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Father (Tit. 2:12, Matt. 6:9-11).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the google of Faith) – Part 107Most delays and/or denials to our prayers are therefore actually in our best interest, so that our future in God can be preserved. May we find grace to see and approach prayers in the same way that our Lord Jesus and His apostles did, so we can have their soul-impacting, generation-altering results.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 19Waiting to acquire life first has always been the toughest and wisest thing to do – because of our common adversary. So waiting was (and remains) a culture of the Spirit that men laid down their lives for – and became the elders/sons of God of their day (Gen. 6:2/Lk. 3:38/Rom. 8:14-19/Heb. 11:4-7/Rev. 12:11).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 12The gospel belongs to Christ because Christ owns the power that saves; that separates man from what makes him CARNALLY NATURAL to what would make him DIVINELY NATURAL – i.e. a man with God’s image. The consecration upon Christ causes every soul that comes in contact with him while journeying unto a state and abode called salvation (God), to be kept and given immunity against sin (i.e. against the power of darkness – Acts 26:18).
2 Corinthians 12
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 3Iniquity is a high wisdom that can inspire even a spiritual man to keep a life that he is meant to hate, and thereafter, inherit the throne of God. The gospel of everlasting life that guarantees that honourable lifestyle is back again, it will keep us focused on seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness—until we inherit what Jesus inherited (God).
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 1When our excitement and contentment can primarily be traced to what we are doing for the Lord or around His name, rather than to God’s promise of eternal life; then, there is already a heart issue that iniquity will exploit with time. God and the devil can clearly see how iniquity can work through our human strengths; how it can inspire us to do many things before men and come short of living before God’s eyes.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 113.The only way to arrest the influence that mammon exerts upon our soul through the love of money, is by being introduced to a contrary influence or knowledge called the Faith of the Son, that promises to bring our souls to God or make us serve Him acceptably (Matt. 6:24, 1Tim. 6:6-12, Heb. 12:28).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 14).The following is a tribute to every intending or potential overcomer of sin, who has been given the honour to fight the good fight of faith or who is facing reactions from the gates of hell; even while jealously holding unto the enlightenment of Christ Jesus – the Son of God.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the google of Faith) – Part 107Most delays and/or denials to our prayers are therefore actually in our best interest, so that our future in God can be preserved. May we find grace to see and approach prayers in the same way that our Lord Jesus and His apostles did, so we can have their soul-impacting, generation-altering results.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 98The Lord has something to tell us about any thought, imagination or temptation that the devil brings our way; He has a right judgment/righteousness to whisper to our hearing, because He has been there before. The New Testament is therefore a provision that keeps shining light to our darkness; even into our inward and hidden parts, until what concerns us – like David – would be what concerns the Lord.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 86To receive the life called God, even eternal life, a believer needs to be empowered against his former life or love called sin; and Christ is God’s joker for this. Seeking first the Kingdom and its righteousness includes using/investing our time and resources to know the mysteries of the Kingdom; the mystery of Christ, of the Father and of God so we can be free from the world, cease from serving sin and bring the weighty matters/conversations of Faith, Love and Mercy into our flesh.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 72Our peace is meant to come from bearing the cross of Christ that promises to crucify the world within and without us (Gal. 5:24/6:14). Take away that same philosophy of gain, away from the Church by the preaching of the gospel, and she would evolve in beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 50.One strategic reason for the trials of faith is to deal with what makes us less contented with the life God offered us through the New Testament. So a day should come when every believer should glory in trials and tribulations, because only therein can we receive abundant entrance into God’s kingdom
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 24There is nothing like an off-white state in the realm of the spirit. It is either: darkness or light, sin or faith, life or death, from above or from beneath, corruptible or incorruptible, clean or unclean.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 16The day we can seamlessly or naturally handle or overcome offence, preeminence, unforgiveness, losses, hurt, animosity – like we see little children do, then can we say we have been converted from being ‘adults’ before God into becoming ‘little children’ who have gained entrance into the Kingdom.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 18Conflicting definitions of blessings littering the earth has caused many believers to lose touch with the true definition of blessing which was only revealed in the New Testament. We were added to the church/saved (Acts 2:47/13:48) – for one purpose – to be fully saved which is to inherit eternal life or to have the Father and Son or to be truly blessed.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 6The strength and blessedness of the New Testament is hinged on resurrection, and the goal of resurrection is to raise man from an estate called flesh (1Pet. 1:24) to one where a believer’s soul is seated with God!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 24God therefore uses our so-called delays to separate us from the timing (race) of this present world and also employs the limitations that came via the fall of man (pain, lack, losses, tears, sicknesses and sorrow) to starve us of what we inherited from the first Adam (disobedience).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 1The 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.
2 Corinthians 13
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 77Following Jesus includes following His footsteps that saw Him use: the warmth; imperfections; weaknesses; forwardness; wickedness and folly of different men to grow up spiritually and then divinely; such that He became the Christ and then the Son of God. The light in the epistles remains our only guarantee of freedom from the grip of money and from the influence of the arrangement of this world.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 24There is nothing like an off-white state in the realm of the spirit. It is either: darkness or light, sin or faith, life or death, from above or from beneath, corruptible or incorruptible, clean or unclean.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 20“the true test of the strength of a man is in his ability to wait”. With a better understanding today, I can now add to that, “on the Lord – for God”.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 17Like most developments in companies don’t earn the attention of great CEO’s, so also do most happenings on earth don’t earn the personal attention of the devil! But when an activity involves the transportation and nurturing of the seed of God (1Pet. 1:22-23/1Jn. 3:9), he fights it until he either overcomes the carrier of that precious seed (2Pet. 2:20/1Tim. 1:19-20/Jude 1:11-12) or until he is overcome in the process (Jn. 14:30/Rev. 12:11).
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 6The strength and blessedness of the New Testament is hinged on resurrection, and the goal of resurrection is to raise man from an estate called flesh (1Pet. 1:24) to one where a believer’s soul is seated with God!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 16Sin 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.
- THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING ‘WHAT NEXT?’ – PART 4The earth is therefore urgently in need of a new breed of powerful believers who would take a deep look into the law and into the perfect law of Liberty; even those who’ll thoroughly believe it until they can’t believe anything else! MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF HIS LIFE – GOD WAS AND IS MEANT TO!
