Acts 1
Acts 2
- 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 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.
- 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 37The first “thing” and/or the first “land” that God wanted his true lovers to own, inherit or be rewarded with was God. Man was to inherit God and God was to inherit man, a process that is to be facilitated by the Holy Spirit who also supervises the addition of other things.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 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.
- 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 6Romans chapter 1 therefore lets us to know that THE GOSPEL is the storehouse of the Revelational materials meant for the building of the true Church (1Cor. 3:10-12). A key chapter of the Christian faith has begun! Worthy seekers and loving inquirers are being raised and we must seek the Christ until we are counted worthy of being his fellows that would be anointed with the same oil of gladness (Ps. 45:7/Heb. 1:9).
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 4The singular motive of the Gospel of Christ is to ultimately grant believers access to partake of the Righteousness of God, the Peace of God and the Joy of the Lord. May we be foolish enough before the world to embrace the actual gospel of Christ while it is available to us, amen.
- Introduction To The Gospel That Belongs To Christ – Part 2The actual Gospel of Christ unveils God through teachings that reveal Christ (Rom. 16:25b/Eph. 3:3-4) that helps believers in their journey back to The Father (Jn. 13:3)! As churches begin to open their doors to it, the present emphasis on various subjects would change and God’s Glorious/Eternal Power would be unlocked and sons (matured saints) would be born.
Acts 3
Acts 7
- 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 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 google of faith)- Part 45Those whose goal is to inherit eternal life or to sit on God’s throne shouldn’t do less. It should be our deepest daily longing, meditation and the main investment drive of our souls.
Acts 9
Acts 10
Acts 13
- 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 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.
Acts 14
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 16).The following are inspired thoughts around how soon sin can be quarantined; musings on how the faith (that has been authorized for use in sinful flesh) can reign like fear presently does. God is bringing every serious or sincere believer to a place where they primarily do one thing: seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness; and to a season where every other goal in life would queue behind that of seeking first the Kingdom (Matt. 6:33).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 52So the revelations of God’s righteousness in Christ came to enlighten and empower us with the conversations of life and godliness, so we can handle the lustful and corrupt system he created; one that makes men to seek everything else but the will and kingdom of God.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 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 & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 13To take a man’s eyes completely off himself and to place it on the Lord is a working miracle that is guaranteed only by the New Testament. The epistles are the training/instruction manuals to get this done, so we can be enabled to live perhaps 90% differently; live from above like Jesus and His apostles did.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 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).
Acts 16
Acts 17
- 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 66The Lord in His wisdom, therefore, would orchestrate situations and seasons that may not look favorable to our heart configurations, one where He can humble us, set our eyes solely on the pursuit of His life or on the saving of our souls.
- 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 21The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun. But a generation of saints are arising to puncture that boast.
- 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 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.
- THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING ‘WHAT NEXT?’ – PART 5God awaits a generation of saints that would agree with him that Learning His Gracious Heart primarily takes place through non-negotiable seasons of the unknown, where He employs economic setbacks, famine, illnesses, betrayals, inadequacies, buffetings of the enemy, despair etc. to change the genes of our souls, further our course in righteousness, redeem us from the earth and from among men, and most importantly, bring us to a terrain of His Faith where the enemy is greatly limited!
Acts 18
Acts 19
- 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.
- 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.
Acts 20
- 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 7Money drives the kingdoms of this world; it answers to everything there, and the actual season when the love of it would be overcome is after a believer has been empowered through the feast of charity (Christ) to seek first the everlasting Kingdom of God and its righteousness. Only then would money become a servant and cease to be a master that gratifies our carnal nature.
- A Closer Look @ 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).
- 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 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 126The litmus test behind the trials and temptations that come the way of those who have profited with the faith of the Son or who are being introduced to everlasting life, is to prove their ability not to be offended – or to still trust the Father when His seeming inaction to their plight doesn’t go down well with them. The Lord permits them to try or further purify our faith, and to bring us back to living on our knees – especially after we have escaped doing so for a while.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 119.Christ is the true economy for the soul of every believer who wants to escape corruption. In His Faith is a program of life and godliness that separates us from this world — and make us godly.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 116.Whenever we don’t fully recover from an unfavourable or painful experience, we won’t be able to respond to God from certain regions of our heart—until we keep the commandments or comforts of faith and love concerning it. As we see through the veil of peace that this world gives, journeying to inherit the peace of the Kingdom would become our new goal and meditation!
- 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 18).The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 15).The soul acquires spiritual immunity by spiritual understanding; by understanding what the Lord has said or is saying (1Cor. 14:20, Col. 1:9-10). Only by not counting our lives dear to ourselves or living like those who ended up inheriting eternal life – can we end up being victorious against it or not negotiate with it along the way (1Cor. 15, Acts 20:24, Lk. 14:31-32).
- 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 68God the Father reserves the right to, and His infinite wisdom, won’t allow some believers come into any substantial material increase because it’s clear to Him that, like the young rich man, they won’t keep the commandments meant to enable them secure a good foundation called Christ thereby, and therefore would fall short of laying hold on eternal life. One of the most difficult things for a believer to do at some critical season of life is to, like father Abraham, believe in hope against hope or to keep believing when the dividends of doing so would take many years to come forth; or to dare to always trust the Lord when all the odds are against doing so, even when the devil is using all he can lay hold on to fight them from continuing.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 4We can receive, internalize and naturalize with the Light called Christ such that He becomes our personal possession, and this is the goal of the New Testament. In a nutshell, we need our first spiritual eyes called Wisdom and Understanding (Eph. 1:18/Col. 1:9c/Prov. 7:4)
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 1This is the description of the man in Christ, the corporate Christ that finds grace to trade the genetic makeup of his soul for that of God until he fully learns God – like Jesus did! God has committed unto our generation, the knowledge that saves the soul; the knowledge of the power of God which through Christ’s Faith leads to the salvation of our souls.
- ANOTHER LOOK @ THE ESSENCE OF SONSHIP – Part 37The first “thing” and/or the first “land” that God wanted his true lovers to own, inherit or be rewarded with was God. Man was to inherit God and God was to inherit man, a process that is to be facilitated by the Holy Spirit who also supervises the addition of other things.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 36Elohim is both the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (Eph. 1:17), and wants to become exactly that to us. Satan was and remains a FATHER OF LIARS and God’s answer to him are FATHERS OF TRUTH (Jn. 8:44/Rev. 22:15f/2Jn. 1:1-4).
- 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)
Acts 22
- 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).
- 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.
Acts 24
- 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.
Acts 26
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money – Part 7Money drives the kingdoms of this world; it answers to everything there, and the actual season when the love of it would be overcome is after a believer has been empowered through the feast of charity (Christ) to seek first the everlasting Kingdom of God and its righteousness. Only then would money become a servant and cease to be a master that gratifies our carnal nature.
- A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 3Excelling in the act and art of submission to spiritual authority should someday help us get it right where the devil once got it wrong, so we can overcome an angelic problem called iniquity that the everlasting gospel is presently healing many from (Ezek. 28:15-16, Isa. 14:13-14, Rev. 22:2b).
- Urgency for 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 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.
- 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 At The Quiet Love of Money or of What Money Can Do. – Pt. 2One good clue that money has become a servant to us, or ceased to be a master, is if our eyes and hearts have found rest in the living words of the Father, which alone can selflessly govern our use of money. There is nothing wrong in owning and enjoying things that money can provide or things that God still freely gives.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 131A believer who is free from the reach and fears generated by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world-is one who has laid aside the old things or goods of his soul. Such a one has developed a single/Christlike mind or eye that solely looks for the incorruptible inheritance from the Father of lights; for the next inheritance that can only be found in the everlasting Kingdom of God the Father.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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 126The litmus test behind the trials and temptations that come the way of those who have profited with the faith of the Son or who are being introduced to everlasting life, is to prove their ability not to be offended – or to still trust the Father when His seeming inaction to their plight doesn’t go down well with them. The Lord permits them to try or further purify our faith, and to bring us back to living on our knees – especially after we have escaped doing so for a while.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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 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 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 18).The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 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 14).The following is a tribute to every intending or potential overcomer of sin, who has been given the honour to fight the good fight of faith or who is facing reactions from the gates of hell; even while jealously holding unto the enlightenment of Christ Jesus – the Son of God.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 13).The following are inspired thoughts I found grace to fetch, while celebrating the word of righteousness and attempting to acknowledge the truth that would birth in us – the hope of eternal life.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 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 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.
- 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 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 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 96So we will need to be armed with the principles/wisdom of Christ, to use/deal with this world as though we don’t; to be unspotted by it until we beat the princes/wisdom of this world in their ploy (Prov. 8:16, 1Cor. 1:30/2:6-8/7:31).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 92Most self-seeking or innocent-looking thoughts that come our way and hang upon our hearts and mind, actually do so because they find one darkness or another in us, or one ignorance or lust that they quietly feed on (Jam. 1:14, 2Cor. 10:5). But when we strive or seek to gracefully fetch thoughts from heavenly places in Christ; or to make the law of God our daily mediation like David did, then: things or lusts that easily tempt us would increasingly lose their value because we are appreciating in being spiritually or Christ minded (Rom. 8:5-6).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 79There is no way our motive in life can be right, if – unlike God – our motivation in life isn’t to ultimately make known God’s power and glory. But as the eyes of our heart gets truly enlightened, we would begin a journey that should see us adventure the righteousness, peace and joy of God’s Kingdom; and, thereby, truly enjoy life – in its truest meaning.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 78To have a heart after God is to have a heart that fights other alternative plans for life – if God doesn’t show up; plans that would always compete with or limit us from truly looking up to God and not to men. Whenever the enlightenment of the gospel invades our hearts or journeys into the recesses of our hearts, we would begin to see ourselves, men and also see things differently.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 73The world is the first philosophy of gain – known or learnt by almost every soul. So one of the essence of the gospel of Christ is to facilitate our escape from the strong captivities of this world, even such that uses man’s legitimate needs to enslave him.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 72Our peace is meant to come from bearing the cross of Christ that promises to crucify the world within and without us (Gal. 5:24/6:14). Take away that same philosophy of gain, away from the Church by the preaching of the gospel, and she would evolve in beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 67The greatest hope that a believer can/should have today, is that of inheriting God’s life or of bringing it into his flesh (Tit. 1:1-2/3:7, Rom. 5:2b). The greatest lifetime thanksgiving that should accompany this, is concerning the opportunity given to us to hear the voice of the Son of God on this so great inheritance.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 64What the light of the epistles seek to do, is to help all men as it exposes to them, the actual hope designed for their souls which is meant to anchor our souls on our voyage/journey back to God. It enlightens us on how to place the right value on the economy/lifestyle that Christ’s faith offers, so they can become free from the grip/influence of this world and of things present; and also free to serve or truly love the Lord (1Cor. 6:12, Lk. 1:74).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 63It is only while being wholeheartedly enlightened on Christ, even His Faith, that a believer would realize for the first time what his primary and uttermost need in life is, which is to be able to love as God loves, by having the Son and Father find an abode in him. The gospel can go as far as causing us to partake of God’s glory, as long as we can humble ourselves to learn Christ or learn of His inward constitution of lowliness and meekness of heart.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 61.But when the primary life pursuit of a soul is God’s life, a believer would have to leverage the divine power that flows from the Faith Christ authored, to handle money as a servant and gradually end its reign as a master. No man can resist the pull or love of money, who hasn’t tenaciously followed after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness (1Tim. 6:10-12).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 60By bringing a daily siege and a barrage of distracting thoughts against the mind of a believer whose primary goal is to be a stone in Zion, the devil seeks to discourage us to draw back from the Lord, or to place a low premium on the Faith He authored and finished. The gospel of Christ is what empowers us to do this by enlightening us on the perimeter of Christ’s walk, even His Faith.
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 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 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 Faith) – Part 26Fear abounds in every sphere and conversation of life where God’s power (i.e. Christ) doesn’t constantly prevail, and it seeks to stop us from disinheriting the life offered to us by the world – so we don’t attain unto our true life and inheritance in Christ, and thereby journey into a place called fullness; of our eternal inheritance; even the Father.
- 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
- 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.
- 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 8The strength and seductive power of this world is in its promise, which it offers to men whose eyes haven’t been enlightened and to those who gravitate towards its pull for an adventure! When God is trying our hearts, He wants us to see what He sees about us – so we can know that we aren’t really whom we think we are, and that we need grace to live in His sight (Deu. 8:2-3, Hos. 6:2).
- Looking Inward Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 6When we attempt to look at others with the eyes or enlightenment of Charity, we would see differently! Light is sweet to the eyes, and also is liberty to a soul whose warfare over a season has just been accomplished.
- 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 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).
- 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 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 29His secret was simple! His background, upbringing and his experiences where all primarily influenced by God’s light!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 14The only way Jesus can unite and fortify believers is to get them to think alike – to think of the same expected end; the Father(H). The only way to do so is to get them to seek the things of others, and the only provision that caters for this is the Faith that was revealed in Jesus; the faith that unites(I) us for a cause that transcends time!
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 9God has called us to seek an inheritance; a life that was never invented! He has and would continue to bless men with wisdom for witty inventions, but believers must be ready to treat them like God treats the works of His hands – “i.e. don’t be attached to them” like God is so unattached to heaven that he wants to “leave heaven”(P) and indwell men that have been decked with true riches/eternal glory.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 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.
- 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 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.
Acts 28
- 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 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- The Journey So Far (August 2015 – August 2016)Jesus has been unveiling His Father here and there and this gradually committed the father’s approval of newer experiences and unveilings of the riches of His grace that was kept in Christ Jesus. Sons of Faith and Sons of Love are being born and their simple secret remains their ability to entertain the Feasts (trumpets) of The Son which would always culminate in the Feasts (thundering) of The Father.
