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).
The best asset that man has ever had and kept, is the will of God, and the worst liability that man has ever kept, is the will of man. And only by the light of Faith and Love that is in Christ Jesus can we trade the latter for the former (Jn. 1:12-13, 1Tim. 1:14, Ps. 119:35).
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).
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.
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).
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.
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).
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).
What makes a man potentially great in the sight of God is not anything that a natural man can seek, acquire or achieve (1Cor. 2:14, Heb. 11:16). Rather, it is what God has to help a man to seek by enlightening him on His great and precious promises; promises inherited for the first time by the man Christ Jesus; precious promises that can enable a man to inherit the light of God – eternally (Gen. 12:1, 2Pet. 1:3-4, Rev. 21:23-24).
The soul of man can’t commit to a thing without sighting its hope, and it has to fight its former hope to have a new one installed (Rom. 4:18). Only thereby can the energies of our souls be unlocked and can we esteem the will of the Father above ours (Ps. 63:8, Jn. 5:30).
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).
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.
