Luke 1
- 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 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.
- 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 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 114.Seasons where nothing seems to be working outwardly are when the Lord wants to expose our fears and make us secured in Christ. Only then can we walk with the light of the fear of the Lord and seek to be eternally secured with God or with the fullness of His life (Deu. 8:2, Isa. 11:2-3, Eph. 3:17-20).
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 18).The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
- Counsels From The Word of Righteousness (Part 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 12).Nothing threatens us from truly living by God’s power (Christ) like known and unknown alternatives we have to the life of faith; and the day we begin to see the need to deny such alternatives or not settle for less than a life fueled by God’s power (Christ) is the day we would be inspired to place the right premium on our daily bread; on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Father (Tit. 2:12, Matt. 6:9-11).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the google of Faith) – Part 107Most delays and/or denials to our prayers are therefore actually in our best interest, so that our future in God can be preserved. May we find grace to see and approach prayers in the same way that our Lord Jesus and His apostles did, so we can have their soul-impacting, generation-altering results.
- 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 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 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 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 google of faith)-part 51.But the knowledge of salvation inspires us to be meek; it calls us to a soul-saving repentance that should see us become meek and ultimately meek and lowly at heart (1Cor. 8:1-2, 2Cor. 10:12, Lk. 1:77, Eph. 4:1-2). He is as close to being helped the day he realizes that the worship of mammon, through the love of this world, is the primary competition to the true worship of God (Matt. 6:19-24, Jam. 4:4, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 37There can be no entrance into the New Testament if we don’t acknowledge we have darkness within us, such that can only be treated with the same instrument of light and commitment to the central message of the Bible like it was found with the early church (1Jn. 1:5, Jam. 1:17).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of 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.
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 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 1This is the description of the man in Christ, the corporate Christ that finds grace to trade the genetic makeup of his soul for that of God until he fully learns God – like Jesus did! God has committed unto our generation, the knowledge that saves the soul; the knowledge of the power of God which through Christ’s Faith leads to the salvation of our souls.
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 33Barely beholding the behavior of infants (little children) would remind us of how unnatural it is to see adults who are child-like at heart or children of the kingdom! So the first mission of the blood of Jesus is to take away sin from our souls (Matt. 26:28), while the last mission of the blood is to take away (spiritual) death from our souls
- 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.
Luke 2
- 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 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).
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 132A meek man is one who has been led through seasons and taught not to judge, do or say anything of his own, but to constantly live by the strength of God’s grace and in His sight. Meekness remains a violent instrument against the kingdoms of this world.
- 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 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 115.The more we can see things through the eyes or light constituted in Christ and God, the more tangible God’s righteousness would become – and the more peace of mind we would have. The peace found in Christ is a spiritually tangible commodity.
- 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 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 100So, if we would ever come into the exaltation that the gospel offers, like His apostles/servants also did; then submission must mean to us what it meant to them. May the watchword of our Lord Jesus (i.e. humility; meekness/lowliness), become our daily watchword.
- Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 94Time primarily should be a count of life – for capturing life; which when selflessly used, would cause us to acquire (true) life; even the life of a person (Christ) whom money diligently served and still serves (Matt. 6:33).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 71The Lord like never before, is set to favour the stones of Zion with another allocation of enduring gains, even with new entrance(s) into His Kingdom that would be administered to as many souls (stones) who would press further and keep His commandments (Ps. 102:13, 2Pet. 1:5-11). The gospel would be responsible for closing this age and for unveiling eternity, so now is the time to look for it – with our all, and like we never truly have (Matt. 24:14, 2Pet. 3:13, Mk. 12:30).
- 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 & 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 6The strength and blessedness of the New Testament is hinged on resurrection, and the goal of resurrection is to raise man from an estate called flesh (1Pet. 1:24) to one where a believer’s soul is seated with God!
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- 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).
Luke 3
- A Closer Look At Delays & Unanswered Prayers — Pt 1.So, many delays and denials to our prayers are actually in our best interest; they preserve our future in God. Our consolation during seasons of seeming delays about God’s promise concerning our natural life should always be that He had already done more than what we can ever expect from Him;
- 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.
- 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 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 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.
- 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 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.
Luke 4
- 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.
- 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 2The season when our souls locate and abide in a new abode called the doctrine of Christ is the season when we have come over the love for the (old) things that are in this world; things under the influence of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (2Jn. 1:9, 2Cor. 5:17, 1Jn. 2:15b).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 1The everlasting gospel was therefore given to help us perfect the act and art of hating this world, even as we completely love the truth that is in the Father.
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 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).
- 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 115.The more we can see things through the eyes or light constituted in Christ and God, the more tangible God’s righteousness would become – and the more peace of mind we would have. The peace found in Christ is a spiritually tangible commodity.
- 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 9).Our greatest need was provided before it ever existed (Rev 13:8b). True security in these days we live in would be a function of how incorruptible we have become or how much of corruption our soul lost; even by the acquisition of divine power (2Pet. 1:3-4).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 53.Christ has a savor, a sweet smell that the Father has never resisted and likes to smell in virtually every of our conversation under the sun, especially from souls that are being tried, or in whom the world has been experiencing crucifixion. The doctrine of Christ seeks to open up every believer to the Son and Father (2Jn. 1:9, Tit. 2:11-13).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 51.But the knowledge of salvation inspires us to be meek; it calls us to a soul-saving repentance that should see us become meek and ultimately meek and lowly at heart (1Cor. 8:1-2, 2Cor. 10:12, Lk. 1:77, Eph. 4:1-2). He is as close to being helped the day he realizes that the worship of mammon, through the love of this world, is the primary competition to the true worship of God (Matt. 6:19-24, Jam. 4:4, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)- part 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 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 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 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 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 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- A Closer Look @ The Man In Christ – Part 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 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 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 1The solution to mankind’s problem has long been also packaged in a person; in the Tree of Life – and as far as God is concerned, it’s spiritually illegal to remain fleshy (Gen. 3:3/Jn. 6:54/Rev. 22:2)
- Doing SOMETHING & Doing NOTHING – Part 2I recall afresh that the emphasis of God, not just in New Testament, but also in the Old Testament, has always been “BECOMING“, rather than “DOING“, and this remains the sole duty of man; TO BECOME LIKE HIS SON. Heaven desires to help our helplessness here and it’s left to us to tarry with a less-costly commandment of “Believing In His Name” (i.e. in what the Lord Jesus inherited); a philosophy that punctuated various epistles of Apostle John.
Luke 6
- 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 71The Lord like never before, is set to favour the stones of Zion with another allocation of enduring gains, even with new entrance(s) into His Kingdom that would be administered to as many souls (stones) who would press further and keep His commandments (Ps. 102:13, 2Pet. 1:5-11). The gospel would be responsible for closing this age and for unveiling eternity, so now is the time to look for it – with our all, and like we never truly have (Matt. 24:14, 2Pet. 3:13, Mk. 12:30).
- 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 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.
- 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.
Luke 7
- 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 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 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!
Luke 8
- 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 and outward (with the google of faith)-part 55The gospel has an ulterior motive, which is to expose every tie of friendship with this world in us, after which the Lord would watch our response to such revelations. A positive response from us will always lead to the creation of an enmity in us against the world, even in areas where we are unequally yoked with those who carry its lustful program.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 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).
- 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).
Luke 9
- 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.
- 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 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 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).
- 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 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).
Luke 10
- 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 @ Iniquity – Part 1When our excitement and contentment can primarily be traced to what we are doing for the Lord or around His name, rather than to God’s promise of eternal life; then, there is already a heart issue that iniquity will exploit with time. God and the devil can clearly see how iniquity can work through our human strengths; how it can inspire us to do many things before men and come short of living before God’s eyes.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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).
- 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).
- 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 & Outward (with the goggle of Christ’s Faith) – Part 38When the peace kept in the gospel becomes the inheritance we seek, ownership of the power kept in the gospel of Christ would become inevitable. The most beautiful and tangible experience the soul of man can have on earth is an adventure of the life being offered by the Christian faith – when sought in its truest and purest form.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 29The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun.
- 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.
Luke 11
Luke 12
- 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.
- 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 10The love of money is a love that can thrive when we mind high things or can’t be content with food and raiment (1Tim. 6:8-10, 17).
- 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 @ The Love of Money – Part 6The Faith in Christ provides our first escape from it, but it takes the Love of God to perfect our immunity from it (2Pet. 1:4, Jude vs. 21, 1Jn. 4:17-18). His freedom lies in the definition of life that is firstly found in Christ and then in the Father, and his reward for finding and keeping these twin expressions of life, is a reward called God (Eph. 4:18-20, Col. 2:2).
- Timely Precepts On Loving Not The World – Part 2The season when our souls locate and abide in a new abode called the doctrine of Christ is the season when we have come over the love for the (old) things that are in this world; things under the influence of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (2Jn. 1:9, 2Cor. 5:17, 1Jn. 2:15b).
- Urgency for Everlasting Life – Part 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.
- A Closer Look @ The Love of Money- part 3The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many believers who remained carnal while making it to heaven. Time is a gift for capturing the divine life; even the life of Jesus whom money diligently served and still serves.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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 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 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 goggle of Faith)-part 108.Faith has a reputation for painting pictures of victory ahead despite our past, and it thereby reassures us that we can still become whom God has called us to be, or attain our full inheritance in Christ Jesus.
- 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 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 & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 25One thing the revelation of Christ does, is that, it always keeps us in check by giving us a revelation of ourselves; of who we really are before Him or outside the sight of men. One way to approach our needs unlike unbelievers and carnal believers do, or of taming the anxiety that comes from cares of this present life, is to confidently whisper with an understanding that says, “my heavenly Father knows that I have need of these things—and has offered me much more in His Kingdom”
- 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 20The devil is a specialist in telling us what others aren’t thinking about us and in painting brilliant thoughts about a future outside God’s life. God designed our soul such that – if it must remain healthy – it must be unattached to anything meant only for use: be it a pen or a prime property.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
Luke 13
Luke 14
- 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.
- 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).
- 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 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 71The Lord like never before, is set to favour the stones of Zion with another allocation of enduring gains, even with new entrance(s) into His Kingdom that would be administered to as many souls (stones) who would press further and keep His commandments (Ps. 102:13, 2Pet. 1:5-11). The gospel would be responsible for closing this age and for unveiling eternity, so now is the time to look for it – with our all, and like we never truly have (Matt. 24:14, 2Pet. 3:13, Mk. 12:30).
- 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 & 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 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.
- 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!
Luke 15
- 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).
- 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 28.The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun. So also is the walk, training, dealing and trials from faith to charity.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 7The only mind God trusts and approves of, is that of Christ, which can only be formed in us as we learn of His faith. Christ is the only anointed life that is far above the reach of this world.
- THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING ‘WHAT NEXT?’ – PART 3ALL WE EVER WOULD NEED HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR, SO ONE OF THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF PRAYERS IS TO HELP OUR INDEPENDENCE-SEEKING NATURE AND ALSO ENHANCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD. If only we can respect God’s sovereignty and desire to pay the price for a supernatural walk; like the lilies of the field who are better clothed than Solomon was (Matt. 6:28-29), we also would find ourselves sincerely trusting God when we seam not to trace him (Job 13:15) and would divest vast energies of our soul perhaps 300 degrees aright.
Luke 16
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 3We need to add contentment to our godly formation, to subdue all thoughts that can come from unrighteous mammon; to overcome all the pull that can come from what money can do. Christ would then become our life-dominant thought and source of contentment.
- Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 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.
- A Closer Look at Overcoming Fears and Anxiety – Part 1Fears and anxiety 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. The true painting of the gospel of Christ always inspires a hope that would see us journey into the corridor of godliness; into a season where living with contentment becomes natural, and living in anxieties and fears becomes unnatural.
- 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 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 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 3The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many believers who remained carnal while making it to heaven. Time is a gift for capturing the divine life; even the life of Jesus whom money diligently served and still serves.
- A Closer Look At The Quiet Love of Money or of What Money Can Do. – Pt. 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).
- 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).
- 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 99Offence is inevitable – as long as the world remains (Matt. 18:7). One primary way that heaven enlarges the narrowness of the human heart/mind, is by taking us through seasons and experiences where we would be taught to delightfully serve and seek things that are in the interest of others (2Cor. 6:3-13).
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 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 80The best manifestation of heaven on earth, or of the will of God in our lives; or the finest interpretation of godliness in the days of our flesh, was designed to take place here on earth. Only by this faith can we be empowered to naturally hate sin until our souls become an irresistible habitation for Christ; a place He would indwell by His faith.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 71The Lord like never before, is set to favour the stones of Zion with another allocation of enduring gains, even with new entrance(s) into His Kingdom that would be administered to as many souls (stones) who would press further and keep His commandments (Ps. 102:13, 2Pet. 1:5-11). The gospel would be responsible for closing this age and for unveiling eternity, so now is the time to look for it – with our all, and like we never truly have (Matt. 24:14, 2Pet. 3:13, Mk. 12:30).
- Looking inward and outward (with the google of faith)-part 55The gospel has an ulterior motive, which is to expose every tie of friendship with this world in us, after which the Lord would watch our response to such revelations. A positive response from us will always lead to the creation of an enmity in us against the world, even in areas where we are unequally yoked with those who carry its lustful program.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of 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 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.
- 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.
Luke 17
- 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 and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 106No man can become a true servant of God who has not disobeyed the course or life that mammon designed for men to live by. May the Faith in Christ Jesus become our soul’s currency for living, and may money mean to us what it meant to our Lord Jesus, Amen.
- Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 71The Lord like never before, is set to favour the stones of Zion with another allocation of enduring gains, even with new entrance(s) into His Kingdom that would be administered to as many souls (stones) who would press further and keep His commandments (Ps. 102:13, 2Pet. 1:5-11). The gospel would be responsible for closing this age and for unveiling eternity, so now is the time to look for it – with our all, and like we never truly have (Matt. 24:14, 2Pet. 3:13, Mk. 12:30).
Luke 18
- 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 @ 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 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 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 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.
- 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 5So preaching Christ is the art of motivating a soul with the promise of inheriting an incorruptible nature – that is higher than sin and death (2Pet. 1:2-4). So whenever God’s commandment to obey an unpopular faith (Lk. 18:8/Gal. 2:20) is delivered to us (Jude 1:3), we are simply being taught how to live above the defilements of this world (2Pet. 2:20) or how not to die (2Pet. 1:4)
- Another Look @ The Essence of Sonship – Part 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 19So if we can endure the dealings and the demands of the strait gate and of the narrow way, we’ll survive the first entrance (the wilderness – typifying Christ) where we would unlock the secret of His Life (His Faith) and receive preparation for an abundant entrance (Canaan – typifying the father).
Luke 19
- 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).
- 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.
Luke 21
- 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 3The world says we need more money, but the gospel says we need to use our time differently, so we can fetch (more) grace; live supernaturally, engage the forces of heaven in all our affairs and thereby enjoy more of heaven on earth than many believers who remained carnal while making it to heaven. Time is a gift for capturing the divine life; even the life of Jesus whom money diligently served and still serves.
- Looking Inward & Outward with the goggle of Faith- part 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 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.
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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”.
- 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.
Luke 22
- 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.
- 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 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 7What our heavenly Father continues to expect from us today is a qualitative degree of pleasure that Old Testament faithful couldn’t upload; one that is eternally compliant with truth.
- 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).
Luke 23
- 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.
