Hebrews 1
- 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 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness – Part 1There is a word that reveals God’s righteousness (or standard) for living like Christ lived. That word is called the word of righteousness, and interestingly, has been available in the last three decades (Heb. 5:13).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith-part 109.The only way we can escape what the devil is saying to us, especially when such temptations are to stop us from entering a new spiritual season or limit us from accessing the holy things and places in Christ Jesus, is for us to hear and respond to what the Lord has said or is saying concerning our lives. One very strong prescription for overcoming offence and attaining the blessing in Christ Jesus, is for us to see ourselves as a nobody outside whom the Lord has said we are and called us to be.
- 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 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 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 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 36When a man finds great grace to do so, he would be unpopular for a season, and unaccepted in some circles – especially among those who build something inferior or contrary to Christ (1Pet. 2:4-7). The remedy for this is to believe headlong, Christ’s report; even His doctrine (Isa. 53:1, Jn. 20:31, 1Jn. 5:1).
- 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).
- 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 8Creation is beholding men being cultured with the separated life that Adam failed to partake of, men that are increasingly jealous of this life that they have agreed with the Lord that it is their true life and they must inherit it in the days of their flesh. Heaven and earth no doubt don’t share the same definition or interpretation of riches and of poverty.
- 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.
- 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 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 32There were many trees in Eden, but there was only one tree of life. In like manner, there are many messages that can be fetched from the scriptures which many believers would call “powerful”, but there is only one message that can collect the known and unknown darkness of our souls (Acts 26:18b/1Jn. 1:8); and that message was a commandment of old that was made new (came alive) in John (1Jn. 2:7-8).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – PART 30So God took upon himself for the first time, the responsibility of fathering a son; a pattern son that would bodily bear his image and attain the fullness of his glory (Col. 2:9/Heb. 1:3). The price tag was very high as the trinity for the first time in eternity would be incomplete without the fellowship of God The Word!
- 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 22The hope of the gospel is to make us good; to make us much more precious than Gold in God’s sight (Isa. 13:12/1Pet. 1:7). Good men are made when Christ has preached himself (what makes him glad) to them and may this be our portion, amen.
- 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.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 11Arming ourselves with this understanding would help us to appreciate our call to Sonship. The earthly days of our flesh has been given to us to prepare for our inheritance; to receive what the father deposited in Christ Jesus over decades.
- 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.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 3As we keep the faith of Christ(J), we would overcome the dominion mandate of the “good” aspect of that tree. This is the gospel Jesus inherited from the father, for you and I, and very soon, it would find its way into churches in all nations(R) and it would become the preeminent teaching and conversation.
- 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 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 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).
Hebrews 2
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness – Part 7There is a Word that reveals God’s standard for living like Jesus did until He attained the victory called our Faith. That Word is called the Word of Righteousness.
- 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 @ 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.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 1He firstly needs the life that Christ gives and, then, the abundant life that the Father gives which has been packaged in the everlasting gospel. There is a (divine) nature we would acquire while being faithful with little, or in another man’s business; with the Father’s business that was faithfully handled by our Lord Jesus for the first time.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 5To be caught up to God and His throne is the true life ambition of every one who has drank of the pure waters of Christ—and who is now drinking of the living waters of the Father. And that makes him wiser than every other believer whose goal in life is inferior to this (Rev. 12:5, Jn. 4:14, Eph. 5:15-16).
- 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 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 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 125Behind every temptation is a hidden evil or intent that our natural minds/eyes can’t figure out – as long as our eyes are still shopping for what’s in our favour (monetarily or personally). Victory over such is a product of the premium we place on life (Christ), or on the divine life that the Father is offering thereby; even while our eyes remain glued to the commandment(s) that springs from the Word of Christ or the actual word of God.
- 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 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 122.The triune teaching in Christ are the enlightenments on Faith, Hope and Charity. They are to purify our souls-so we thereby escape the corruption of this world; so we are prepared for seasons when corruption would be fully overcome: seasons when God would become our God (1Pet. 1:22, 2Pet. 1:4, Rev. 3:12).
- 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 7).The legitimate cares of this present life has been designed in a way and manner that most men would end up seeking it (food, clothing, shelter) at the expense of true life/inheritance (Christ). Such is the empowerment being offered by the gospel of Christ and God; whereby we can excel in doing the will of God because we are dead to or separated from the will of man.
- (Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) Part 102Freedom from known and unknown fears comes as we journey into the knowledge of truth; even into God, and the pathway to this is from faith to faith; from the faith that is in Christ through the faith of the Son of God – into God.
- 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 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 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 47.The Father likes to see that our greatest contentment, desire, pursuit and prayer in life, is to have eternal life, even the same life that committed Jesus to leave the throne for the earth. The only answer to a corrupt life is an incorruptible life and it deserves much more attention than we have given to other legitimate but corrupt-prone chapters of life.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)- Part 42One of the chief goals that a believer should have today is that of becoming of a meek and lowly heart and among many things, a serious limitation to desiring this heart, is what you are doing for God – like we saw in Moses! Truly great men were all made by the process or obedience to Faith they submitted to, which in turn empowered them to truly OBEY, LOVE OR FEAR GOD.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 36When a man finds great grace to do so, he would be unpopular for a season, and unaccepted in some circles – especially among those who build something inferior or contrary to Christ (1Pet. 2:4-7). The remedy for this is to believe headlong, Christ’s report; even His doctrine (Isa. 53:1, Jn. 20:31, 1Jn. 5:1).
- 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.
- 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.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 12True success (in God’s sight) comes while disapointing every wordly definition of success. When we receive the deliverance (freedom) that Christ offers, we can’t be threatened with the loss of our lives or moved by the loss of tangible or intangible things or goods.
- Looking Inward Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 5When an unbeliever or a carnal believer treats us in ways that come natural to them, we are meant to also respond to them in a way ‘natural’ to us and thereby show our conformity to Christ – except we haven’t really been conformed to Him. Any definition of manifestation of the sons of God that can’t start and end in meekness and lowliness, is of no profit to the souls of those promoting it or to their audience.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 13Sin is the first produce of the “good knowledge” of the tree being probed here, which is a product of disobedience to the law of God’s order of Faith. What crucifies the world in us and to us is the cross of Christ – the conversation of His Faith, and any believer that is ashamed of the lifestyle that accompanies this Faith is either openly or secretly in love with this world!
- 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 8Creation is beholding men being cultured with the separated life that Adam failed to partake of, men that are increasingly jealous of this life that they have agreed with the Lord that it is their true life and they must inherit it in the days of their flesh. Heaven and earth no doubt don’t share the same definition or interpretation of riches and of poverty.
- 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).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 21This generation of believers is privileged under heaven to live in days when heaven is promoting their Faith –a divine empowerment meant to teach us “how to lose control of our lives” so that “God can gain control of it” and ultimately use it for His glory.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 20One thing that the Lord Jesus would like us all to see as clearly like he did long before he finished his faith course and overcame the world at the age of 30 is the phenomenon called death. Christ has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to life, and these are they two eternal commodities we are to showcase to nations, tribes, kindred and people, in the days of our flesh.
- 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 12There is a nature in God that is strictly prophetic, and every true child of God that would attain Sonship in the New Testament would have to be raised by this nature. The secret of overcomers in the early church (starting from the Apostles) was this nature.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 11Arming ourselves with this understanding would help us to appreciate our call to Sonship. The earthly days of our flesh has been given to us to prepare for our inheritance; to receive what the father deposited in Christ Jesus over decades.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
Hebrews 3
- 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)
- 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 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.
- 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 95Unbelief always set in whenever we stare long enough on a mountain or problem, rather than stare long enough on the word or the commandments governing that issue or expectation; or whenever we (unlike the fowls of the air) take thoughts for our life or for tomorrow.
- 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 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 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 32There was a dominant thought upon the heart and mind of our Lord Jesus in every hour of His life/walk on earth. That thought/meditation was His Father’s will, which became the food of His soul in no time, and this must someday become ours also.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 15The devil doesn’t have what it takes to limit any believer from becoming all that God has called him to be; from being exactly like Christ Jesus! Without coming through the separations of FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, into the consecration of LOVE, no man can see God.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 4So as far as God is concerned, the problem of believers and pastors in the church today is not our lack of money, miraculous power e.t.c. but our lack of dominion over sin which is an after effect of not learning or being established in Christ’s Faith – i.e. God’s Faith.
- 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.
Hebrews 4
- 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;
- The Eternal Dividends of Submission — Part 1Submission at all levels remains a vital prescription for weeding out or overcoming hidden natures in us; especially priestly sins like guile, envy, malice, hypocrisies, and evil speaking. The shortcut to this is by delighting in the demands of submission, even until we can both see this world and iniquity within, in its true colors.
- 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 8The love of money has been an age-long cancer of the soul, long before cancer of the body was ever diagnosed. It has left the soul of many believers unhealthy and covetous, and it remains an unarmed robber that has consistently stolen the birthright of many believers, robbing them of their inheritance in Christ and in the Father (1Tim 6:9-10, Lk. 12:15, Eph. 5:5).
- A 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).
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- A Closer Look At The Quiet Love of Money or of What Money Can Do. – Pt. 1Nothing has robbed generations of believers from accessing the riches of Christ or the true riches of the Father—like the love of money or of what money can do. Nothing reinforces our confidence in the flesh like the world that it creates (Lk. 16:11/18:25; 1 Jn. 2:15-17; Jer. 17:5-6).
- 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).
- 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 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 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 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).
- 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 95Unbelief always set in whenever we stare long enough on a mountain or problem, rather than stare long enough on the word or the commandments governing that issue or expectation; or whenever we (unlike the fowls of the air) take thoughts for our life or for tomorrow.
- 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 75The earlier He can succeed in doing; even by unveiling Christ to us, the earlier we can be built up to a place where the world can neither unlock our affections nor lead us by dumb idols. The revelation of Christ; even of godliness, is the first “gain” that every soul needs to attain; so it can be empowered to truly seek for God, while living as supernaturally as Christ did.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 59To keep our hearts from everything that can cause it to lose life, we have to guard it against every effort of the enemy to reach it through the dictates of our natural senses; primarily, via our eyes and ears. This demands the constant use of the breastplate of faith and love to shield our hearts from every thought and imagination of the devil, so we can focus on the dictates of the Spirit of God through our spirit, and thereby appreciate in the formation of the mind of Christ in our soul.
- 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 22The daily and continuous sighting of Christ, or of the hope of the gospel, or of living by God’s Power, would cause Christ to come indwell us by His Faith, and gradually prepare us to someday attain God’s glory. No believer who is overtaken by this pursuit, would be moved or swayed by the cares and anxieties of this present life, and as such, would overcome such
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 15The devil doesn’t have what it takes to limit any believer from becoming all that God has called him to be; from being exactly like Christ Jesus! Without coming through the separations of FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, into the consecration of LOVE, no man can see 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 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.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 27So the administration of light remains the most serious project that the godhead has and perhaps would ever undertake. Before God would unveil the world to come (the new heaven and the new earth), the souls of some believers must secure their lots in him and thereby attain His rest (Heb 4).
- 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).
Hebrews 5
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness – Part 7There is a Word that reveals God’s standard for living like Jesus did until He attained the victory called our Faith. That Word is called the Word of Righteousness.
- Introduction to the Word of Righteousness – Part 6There is a Word that serves as the spiritual means to connect those who have used the milk expression of faith with the strong meat expression of faith (the word of God). That Word is called The Word of Righteousness.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 5To be caught up to God and His throne is the true life ambition of every one who has drank of the pure waters of Christ—and who is now drinking of the living waters of the Father. And that makes him wiser than every other believer whose goal in life is inferior to this (Rev. 12:5, Jn. 4:14, Eph. 5:15-16).
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 4Nothing makes or fashions hustlers out of a generation of men, like money. Nothing keeps believers – long in carnality – like money and what money can do (Lk. 18:18-25).
- 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 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 127In the sight of the Lord, a believer who is closer to receiving the first and last inheritance called Christ and God the Father (everlasting life), is wiser, richer, healthier and more truly prosperous than a believer who isn’t (Eph. 5:5).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 125Behind every temptation is a hidden evil or intent that our natural minds/eyes can’t figure out – as long as our eyes are still shopping for what’s in our favour (monetarily or personally). Victory over such is a product of the premium we place on life (Christ), or on the divine life that the Father is offering thereby; even while our eyes remain glued to the commandment(s) that springs from the Word of Christ or the actual word of God.
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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).
- 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).
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness (Part 4)This teaching is called the word of righteousness because – among others – it unveils on a precept by precept basis, the right way to live in the flesh; the way to live in a manner that would see us change from pleasing ourselves in futility to pleasing the Lord in reality; a journey that takes us into Christ and also gives our soul an habitation in God (Col. 1:10, Jn. 14:3). This word starts by skillfully unveiling or unlocking the riches of Christ; the truths that fashioned Jesus to become the Christ, and ultimately the Son of God (Jn. 20:31).
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness (Part 3)In like manner, what has limited many believers (till date) from coming into a spiritual understanding of the actual faith of the New Testament, is their inability to selflessly use the word that can only introduce righteousness (i.e. the milk of faith), as a leverage to embrace the actual word that teaches or unveils (God’s) righteousness; i.e. the word of righteousness (Heb. 5:12-13). So, good milk cultures an appetite for the spiritual or for the meat of the word called Christ (1Cor. 2:15; 3:1-2)!
- 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.
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness – Part 1There is a word that reveals God’s righteousness (or standard) for living like Christ lived. That word is called the word of righteousness, and interestingly, has been available in the last three decades (Heb. 5:13).
- 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 109.The only way we can escape what the devil is saying to us, especially when such temptations are to stop us from entering a new spiritual season or limit us from accessing the holy things and places in Christ Jesus, is for us to hear and respond to what the Lord has said or is saying concerning our lives. One very strong prescription for overcoming offence and attaining the blessing in Christ Jesus, is for us to see ourselves as a nobody outside whom the Lord has said we are and called us to be.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 101There are spiritual blessings of the New Testament; even blessings that would raise our sight/judgments concerning eternal things, that have been tied to our faithful followership/service in the household of truth, and until we become single-eyed while seeking the things of others, we would not be able to untie or access such blessings or divine provisions (Matt. 6:22, Lk. 16:12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 95Unbelief always set in whenever we stare long enough on a mountain or problem, rather than stare long enough on the word or the commandments governing that issue or expectation; or whenever we (unlike the fowls of the air) take thoughts for our life or for tomorrow.
- 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 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 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 74The Faith still being offered by heaven to the elect; even the Faith of God’s elect which is after godliness, has its dividends both in time and eternity. It is God’s power that wants to enable us address our indebtedness of love to the Church, to our nation, to our generation and to others.
- 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 and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 59To keep our hearts from everything that can cause it to lose life, we have to guard it against every effort of the enemy to reach it through the dictates of our natural senses; primarily, via our eyes and ears. This demands the constant use of the breastplate of faith and love to shield our hearts from every thought and imagination of the devil, so we can focus on the dictates of the Spirit of God through our spirit, and thereby appreciate in the formation of the mind of Christ in our soul.
- 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 & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 39The leading of the Spirit is a leading against a life of ours which is of no use to us and to others, so we can acquire a life from above that would be of use to ourselves and to others; even an anointed life called Christ, that empowers whoever truly subscribe to it to gradually comprehend and inherit God.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 12There is a nature in God that is strictly prophetic, and every true child of God that would attain Sonship in the New Testament would have to be raised by this nature. The secret of overcomers in the early church (starting from the Apostles) was this nature.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 5Simply put, there are things in the bible that can be mistaken for Life or Eternal Life, so zealously searching the scriptures doesn’t necessarily translate to finding God’s kind of life. So what Adam forsook on behalf of posterity was the learning of “The Word of God” – and this is the same temptation facing believers and ministers till date, some of who chose to settle for less or settle for various learning around the subject of faith that can’t deal with our depraved nature problem.
- Urgent Vacancy For Men of The Future – Part 2God is greatly rich, because He lives by giving, with no clauses or strings attached. How unlike God men are; how like God we are called to be!
- 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!
- 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.
Hebrews 6
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money – Part 8The love of money has been an age-long cancer of the soul, long before cancer of the body was ever diagnosed. It has left the soul of many believers unhealthy and covetous, and it remains an unarmed robber that has consistently stolen the birthright of many believers, robbing them of their inheritance in Christ and in the Father (1Tim 6:9-10, Lk. 12:15, Eph. 5:5).
- A 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)
- 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.
- A Closer Look At The Quiet Love of Money or of What Money Can Do. – Pt. 1Nothing has robbed generations of believers from accessing the riches of Christ or the true riches of the Father—like the love of money or of what money can do. Nothing reinforces our confidence in the flesh like the world that it creates (Lk. 16:11/18:25; 1 Jn. 2:15-17; Jer. 17:5-6).
- 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.
- 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 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 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 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).
- 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 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 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 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 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 49If the Lord Jesus doesn’t have the right to influence or determine what we do with our time, strength and resources, then our claim of Him being Lord over our lives can be questioned. The gospel has come to empower us to see everything in the true light, so we can always take stock of our true net worth, and place things in the right perspective
- 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 22The daily and continuous sighting of Christ, or of the hope of the gospel, or of living by God’s Power, would cause Christ to come indwell us by His Faith, and gradually prepare us to someday attain God’s glory. No believer who is overtaken by this pursuit, would be moved or swayed by the cares and anxieties of this present life, and as such, would overcome such
- 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 13Sin is the first produce of the “good knowledge” of the tree being probed here, which is a product of disobedience to the law of God’s order of Faith. What crucifies the world in us and to us is the cross of Christ – the conversation of His Faith, and any believer that is ashamed of the lifestyle that accompanies this Faith is either openly or secretly in love with this world!
- 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 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 3The Sins of the soul are the sicknesses, infirmities or diseases of the soul (Ps. 103:1-3), and the cure for them all have been kept in the epistles of the New Testament! So the prescription for all the sicknesses and diseases of the soul is knowledge; not any kind of knowledge but THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (1Tim. 2:4) or THE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION (Lk. 1:77) or THE LAW OF TRUTH (Mal. 2:5-6/Jam. 1:25), which also is THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD OR SEED (1Pet. 1:23) that SAVES THE SOUL (Jam. 1:21/1Pet. 1:23).
- 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 10OUR PASSPORT AND DIVINE ACCESS TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN MUST BE SECURED WHILE ON EARTH. GOD EXPECTS US TO COME INTO THE EXPERIENCE/FELLOWSHIP OF 1JN. 1:1-3 WHILE ON EARTH BECAUSE THIS WOULD DETERMINE OUR RECEPTION WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 2The tree of the knowledge of good and evil has the ability to lead a soul from sin to death(E). The tree of life has the ability to wean(F) a believer from the popular faith in the church today (faith towards God), lead him/her through God’s Faith(G) and also mature him/her in God’s Love.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 5There are POWERS FROM GOD and there is THE DIVINE POWER OF GOD, but extremely few believers till date have understood the difference between both, and this remains key to attaining our inheritance in God. The church needs to migrate from ministrations that introduce the gospel to the core aspect of the gospel where the light of Christ’s Faith and God’s Love must be learnt.
- 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.
Hebrews 7
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 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)
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 32There were many trees in Eden, but there was only one tree of life. In like manner, there are many messages that can be fetched from the scriptures which many believers would call “powerful”, but there is only one message that can collect the known and unknown darkness of our souls (Acts 26:18b/1Jn. 1:8); and that message was a commandment of old that was made new (came alive) in John (1Jn. 2:7-8).
- 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.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 21This generation of believers is privileged under heaven to live in days when heaven is promoting their Faith –a divine empowerment meant to teach us “how to lose control of our lives” so that “God can gain control of it” and ultimately use it for His glory.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 10OUR PASSPORT AND DIVINE ACCESS TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN MUST BE SECURED WHILE ON EARTH. GOD EXPECTS US TO COME INTO THE EXPERIENCE/FELLOWSHIP OF 1JN. 1:1-3 WHILE ON EARTH BECAUSE THIS WOULD DETERMINE OUR RECEPTION WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 3As we keep the faith of Christ(J), we would overcome the dominion mandate of the “good” aspect of that tree. This is the gospel Jesus inherited from the father, for you and I, and very soon, it would find its way into churches in all nations(R) and it would become the preeminent teaching and conversation.
- 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!
- 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.
Hebrews 8
- 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;
- 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.
- 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.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 5To be caught up to God and His throne is the true life ambition of every one who has drank of the pure waters of Christ—and who is now drinking of the living waters of the Father. And that makes him wiser than every other believer whose goal in life is inferior to this (Rev. 12:5, Jn. 4:14, Eph. 5:15-16).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
Hebrews 9
- 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;
- 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 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 6).Fear breeds wherever we don’t put faith first; whenever we are not prepared to count losses or delay a gratification; even while tenaciously holding faith (Matt. 6:24-34, 1 Tim. 3:9). So, the measure of Christ’s life we have can be traceable to how well we have submitted to God through men; and have thereby become meek (Exo. 3:1, Num. 12:3).
- 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 104The faith that is in Christ Jesus is the provision that keeps changing our sight; even to a place where we can comprehend God or judge like He does (Isa. 11:3, Jn. 7:24). Heaven wants to see how long we can hold unto faith (Christ), and under what situations we would do otherwise, because that would inform if they can ultimately unveil the Father to us, or commit into our trust, our eternal inheritance (1Pet. 1:9).
- 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 74The Faith still being offered by heaven to the elect; even the Faith of God’s elect which is after godliness, has its dividends both in time and eternity. It is God’s power that wants to enable us address our indebtedness of love to the Church, to our nation, to our generation and to others.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 9The day we can replace the vain philosophy that says, “I am better than …”, with the philosophy in Christ that says or counsels us to “esteem others better than ourselves”, is the day we actually begin our journey into servanthood; into greatness; into Godhood. The Faith that is in Christ supplies the substances for that growth; it raises a soul from a fleshy to a spiritual estate.
Hebrews 10
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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 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 122.The triune teaching in Christ are the enlightenments on Faith, Hope and Charity. They are to purify our souls-so we thereby escape the corruption of this world; so we are prepared for seasons when corruption would be fully overcome: seasons when God would become our God (1Pet. 1:22, 2Pet. 1:4, Rev. 3:12).
- 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 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 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 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 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 and outward (with the google of faith)- part 46.One painful reality that is known to angels and to the Godhead, but unknown to most believers over generations, is the act of taking far too little out of trying times and seasons, or of not truly profiting with a trial of faith which is always meant to birth something enduring and eternal in us. The laws of sin and death would continue to feed fat on our fears of tomorrow, as long as we haven’t been equipped by the Faith of the Son to take our eyes off men, off things and off ourselves.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)- Part 43We all were weakened via Adam’s fall, from seeking God for God, and we all started by seeking God for the needs of this present life, but unknown to most believers, the world is designed to perpetually keep us doing so except we rise up against this by the strength of Christ’s Faith. Our hope either emanates from the gospel or from this world, and only the former doesn’t disappoint (Prov. 10:28, Rom. 5:5, 1 Pet. 2:6).
- Looking Inward and outward (with the google of faith)- part 41By not intensely seeking to be meek and lowly, we are seeking something far too less and inferior, and many have realised this when they got to heaven. No believer can conquer the world without, without firstly discerning and then conquering the world within him; without conquering the alien life within him that quietly rules his soul.
- 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 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 15The devil doesn’t have what it takes to limit any believer from becoming all that God has called him to be; from being exactly like Christ Jesus! Without coming through the separations of FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, into the consecration of LOVE, no man can see God.
- 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.
- 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 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)
- 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).
- 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).
Hebrews 11
- 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 at Overcoming Fears and Anxiety – Part 2As long as we are deficient in faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and Charity found in Christ, living in fear and anxiety would remain inevitable. Anxiety is always born when we bear burdens that are meant to be laid at the Lord’s feet.
- Introduction to the Word of Righteousness – Part 6There is a Word that serves as the spiritual means to connect those who have used the milk expression of faith with the strong meat expression of faith (the word of God). That Word is called The Word of Righteousness.
- 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 @ 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)
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 1He firstly needs the life that Christ gives and, then, the abundant life that the Father gives which has been packaged in the everlasting gospel. There is a (divine) nature we would acquire while being faithful with little, or in another man’s business; with the Father’s business that was faithfully handled by our Lord Jesus for the first time.
- 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 4Nothing makes or fashions hustlers out of a generation of men, like money. Nothing keeps believers – long in carnality – like money and what money can do (Lk. 18:18-25).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 127In the sight of the Lord, a believer who is closer to receiving the first and last inheritance called Christ and God the Father (everlasting life), is wiser, richer, healthier and more truly prosperous than a believer who isn’t (Eph. 5:5).
- 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.
- 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).
- 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 111.Fears and anxieties are born when we attempt to carnally respond to a righteous expectation or when we can’t trust in the ability of the Lord to bring to pass what He promised. And they would always cost us the peace of our heart (Phil. 4:6-7, Jam. 1:6-8).
- 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 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 6).Fear breeds wherever we don’t put faith first; whenever we are not prepared to count losses or delay a gratification; even while tenaciously holding faith (Matt. 6:24-34, 1 Tim. 3:9). So, the measure of Christ’s life we have can be traceable to how well we have submitted to God through men; and have thereby become meek (Exo. 3:1, Num. 12:3).
- 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).
- 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 102Freedom from known and unknown fears comes as we journey into the knowledge of truth; even into God, and the pathway to this is from faith to faith; from the faith that is in Christ through the faith of the Son of God – into God.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 97The gospel is the only thing that has been freely given to man; and that for the profiting of his soul; and it must also be freely given by men to others. Only by the principle of living that was authorized by Christ for use in man’s flesh, can we beat this world and its god.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 90The greatest competitor of faith is sight. The greatest limitation to the unseen realm where man’s true/spiritual blessings have been kept is the realm where his carnal blessings are exaggerated; where men serve things that have been anointed with divers lusts.
- 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 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 74The Faith still being offered by heaven to the elect; even the Faith of God’s elect which is after godliness, has its dividends both in time and eternity. It is God’s power that wants to enable us address our indebtedness of love to the Church, to our nation, to our generation and to others.
- 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 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 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 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 44This present life was given to us as a gift to learn eternal life, and without this understanding or sense of purpose, the abuse of this gift is inevitable.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)- Part 42One of the chief goals that a believer should have today is that of becoming of a meek and lowly heart and among many things, a serious limitation to desiring this heart, is what you are doing for God – like we saw in Moses! Truly great men were all made by the process or obedience to Faith they submitted to, which in turn empowered them to truly OBEY, LOVE OR FEAR GOD.
- Looking Inward and outward (with the google of faith)- part 41By not intensely seeking to be meek and lowly, we are seeking something far too less and inferior, and many have realised this when they got to heaven. No believer can conquer the world without, without firstly discerning and then conquering the world within him; without conquering the alien life within him that quietly rules his soul.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 31One thing the devil is offering every man is this world, one thing he wants is our soul. One thing God is offering believers, is eternal life.
- 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.
- 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.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 17The greatness that the world offers comes at a dire cost of the life of men’s soul, but God’s offer of greatness comes through foolish and reproachful looking arrangements that would first change us within and then without. God rewards His servants not with things that perishes with use but with His name – with an incorruptible nature that the Spirit, Son and Father share in common.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 10Class matters! Stature matters! Status matters; both in this present world and in the world to come! Every believer that would shine as a superior light to John (the Baptist) must be a professional in using the light (Christ) that comes his way, to first of all judge darkness in himself and then witness same to others.
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 30So God took upon himself for the first time, the responsibility of fathering a son; a pattern son that would bodily bear his image and attain the fullness of his glory (Col. 2:9/Heb. 1:3). The price tag was very high as the trinity for the first time in eternity would be incomplete without the fellowship of God The Word!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 22The hope of the gospel is to make us good; to make us much more precious than Gold in God’s sight (Isa. 13:12/1Pet. 1:7). Good men are made when Christ has preached himself (what makes him glad) to them and may this be our portion, amen.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 5Simply put, there are things in the bible that can be mistaken for Life or Eternal Life, so zealously searching the scriptures doesn’t necessarily translate to finding God’s kind of life. So what Adam forsook on behalf of posterity was the learning of “The Word of God” – and this is the same temptation facing believers and ministers till date, some of who chose to settle for less or settle for various learning around the subject of faith that can’t deal with our depraved nature problem.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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).
- 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!
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 5There are POWERS FROM GOD and there is THE DIVINE POWER OF GOD, but extremely few believers till date have understood the difference between both, and this remains key to attaining our inheritance in God. The church needs to migrate from ministrations that introduce the gospel to the core aspect of the gospel where the light of Christ’s Faith and God’s Love must be learnt.
Hebrews 12
- 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.
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 1The 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. His freedom lies in a 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.
- Introduction To The Word of Righteousness – Part 7There is a Word that reveals God’s standard for living like Jesus did until He attained the victory called our Faith. That Word is called the Word of Righteousness.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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 Everlasting Life – Part 1He firstly needs the life that Christ gives and, then, the abundant life that the Father gives which has been packaged in the everlasting gospel. There is a (divine) nature we would acquire while being faithful with little, or in another man’s business; with the Father’s business that was faithfully handled by our Lord Jesus for the first time.
- 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.
- 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 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 125Behind every temptation is a hidden evil or intent that our natural minds/eyes can’t figure out – as long as our eyes are still shopping for what’s in our favour (monetarily or personally). Victory over such is a product of the premium we place on life (Christ), or on the divine life that the Father is offering thereby; even while our eyes remain glued to the commandment(s) that springs from the Word of Christ or the actual word of God.
- 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.
- 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 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!
- 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).
- 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 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 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 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 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).
- Subject: Can the word of righteousness cater for my physical/material needs?The word of righteousness is the teaching of a faith in Christ that spells out how a believer can relate with the natural/present life in a truly supernatural way. It does so by encouraging us to relate with our needs like Jesus did and not like unbelievers or carnal believers do.
- 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 103The Christian Faith is so precious; that, when the design or pressures around this present world makes food and raiment the only thing constant or available, and leaves all other things (necessitates) as variables, a believer who is constantly being fed with the faith that is in Christ should be willing to hold unto that life and be fully purified by it until he crosses into the seasons where the hope of eternal life would be gradually made tangible to him (Ps. 110:3, 1Tim. 6:8, 1Pet. 1:22).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 101There are spiritual blessings of the New Testament; even blessings that would raise our sight/judgments concerning eternal things, that have been tied to our faithful followership/service in the household of truth, and until we become single-eyed while seeking the things of others, we would not be able to untie or access such blessings or divine provisions (Matt. 6:22, Lk. 16:12).
- 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 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 & 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 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 68A carnal or earthly mind is resident in anyone who is more interested in the good things of this present life that God can give, rather than in the good of the gospel, even things with an eternal origin – that God wants to teach him and thereby cause him to ultimately inherit His nature/throne. Christ is the man carrying God’s approval and eternal blessing, so the degree to which we have been tried and have partaken of His life and light, is the degree to which we have become precious in God’s sight.
- 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 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 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 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 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”
- 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 17The greatness that the world offers comes at a dire cost of the life of men’s soul, but God’s offer of greatness comes through foolish and reproachful looking arrangements that would first change us within and then without. God rewards His servants not with things that perishes with use but with His name – with an incorruptible nature that the Spirit, Son and Father share in common.
- 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 9The day we can replace the vain philosophy that says, “I am better than …”, with the philosophy in Christ that says or counsels us to “esteem others better than ourselves”, is the day we actually begin our journey into servanthood; into greatness; into Godhood. The Faith that is in Christ supplies the substances for that growth; it raises a soul from a fleshy to a spiritual estate.
- 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.
- 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 13Sin is the first produce of the “good knowledge” of the tree being probed here, which is a product of disobedience to the law of God’s order of Faith. What crucifies the world in us and to us is the cross of Christ – the conversation of His Faith, and any believer that is ashamed of the lifestyle that accompanies this Faith is either openly or secretly in love with this world!
- 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 3The Sins of the soul are the sicknesses, infirmities or diseases of the soul (Ps. 103:1-3), and the cure for them all have been kept in the epistles of the New Testament! So the prescription for all the sicknesses and diseases of the soul is knowledge; not any kind of knowledge but THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (1Tim. 2:4) or THE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION (Lk. 1:77) or THE LAW OF TRUTH (Mal. 2:5-6/Jam. 1:25), which also is THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD OR SEED (1Pet. 1:23) that SAVES THE SOUL (Jam. 1:21/1Pet. 1:23).
- 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).
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – PART 31So God gave his Son so that he can reap many precious sons – not many children (Jam. 5:7), and He awaits kings in whom these mysteries (riches) have become a living reality – long before they show up in heaven (Prov. 25:2)
- 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 21This generation of believers is privileged under heaven to live in days when heaven is promoting their Faith –a divine empowerment meant to teach us “how to lose control of our lives” so that “God can gain control of it” and ultimately use it for His glory.
- 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.
- 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 5Simply put, there are things in the bible that can be mistaken for Life or Eternal Life, so zealously searching the scriptures doesn’t necessarily translate to finding God’s kind of life. So what Adam forsook on behalf of posterity was the learning of “The Word of God” – and this is the same temptation facing believers and ministers till date, some of who chose to settle for less or settle for various learning around the subject of faith that can’t deal with our depraved nature problem.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 3As we keep the faith of Christ(J), we would overcome the dominion mandate of the “good” aspect of that tree. This is the gospel Jesus inherited from the father, for you and I, and very soon, it would find its way into churches in all nations(R) and it would become the preeminent teaching and conversation.
- 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.
- Urgent Vacancy For Men of The Future – Part 3The end of the future of all men would either be categorized as acceptable/rewardable works (ie. gold, silver, precious stones) or unacceptable works that can’t stand the true test of fire. May I leave you with this anointed question, “What did the father reveal to Jesus as the future of man during those 33 years? Is that what you and I believe in as Our Future?”
- 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!
Hebrews 13
- 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.
- 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 12True success (in God’s sight) comes while disapointing every wordly definition of success. When we receive the deliverance (freedom) that Christ offers, we can’t be threatened with the loss of our lives or moved by the loss of tangible or intangible things or goods.
- 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.
