Beloved,
I was encouraged to realize that the
Disciples-Made-Apostles had actually journeyed from The Beginning of Faith
to The End of Faith when they found themselves writing with graced
inspirations, the epistles which remain unreviewable till date! God’s
plumb line for generations born and unborn was therefore downloaded through Their
Walk, because they chose not to be nominal Christians but rather, live by
every Spoken Word that proceeded out from the Mouth of The Father (Matt. 4:4)
Apostle
Paul’s journey, like very few others, started with a raw encounter after he had
carried out exploits with a Blind Mind against The Church (Acts
26:11/Gal. 1:13). He was then graced with a grave commission to the body of
Christ after the Lord had dealt with his Inner
Eyes because No Man Has Ever Walked With God Without A Restoration of
The Blindness That All Men Experienced Through Adam. The Church must wake up to a truth that ‘THE NEW BIRTH DOES NOT OPEN
THE EYES OF OUR UNDERSTANDING’!
Paul was
one of the few saints in history who had such a Quick Work In Righteousness carried
out on The Eyes of His Understanding (Eph. 1:17-18), a compulsory experience
before God can grant Believers-Made-Disciples an access to His Secrets,
though believers from his day till date have ignorantly despised this Gracious
Process, making it take years or decades for some, while others never
embrace this chapter until they go to heaven with a Soul-State similar to that
of The Thief On The Cross.
What was hanging on men’s souls
was A Wisdom Called The World which was weightier than the residual life
that was resident in their souls and Apostle Paul knew that believers
would be slaves to it all their lives. He therefore had to enlighten them on
the only solution that could deal with this i.e. – The Wisdom of God revealed in Christ Jesus (1Cor. 1:30)
Apostle Paul fulfilled his 3
fold commission to the Gentiles, kings, and the Children of Israel (Acts
9:15/26:17) after he had been built against the wisdom of Satan i.e. the Wisdom
of the World
The Wisdom called
The World is older than generations of men,
was crafted by a onetime light (wisdom) bearer and without
discerning/overcoming it, believers would remain earthly
relevant/celebrated but would never become an answer to God’s desire for Sons
to arise!
I was
also amazed to realize that the Lord personally dealt with vast weights that
hung on the souls of all men that crossed His path. He did so with anointed
words that quickened His Disciples-Made-Apostles who later confronted weights
in the hearts and lives of other Christians.
1. Little wonder why the Lord Jesus tried to
confirm through his rapport with the Young, Rich Ruler that the weight of our
earthly professions/attainment could ensnare one from Walking With God/Knowing
Truth!!
2. Little wonder why Gehazi drew back in his walk with a heavily anointed
Elisha having treasured material possessions at the expense of the God whom
Elisha carried, which was meant to come upon him like Elisha had earlier
partaken of Elijah’s anointing.
3. Little wonder why Nimrod could trade the path of submitting to the
Life of Faith for a lustful ambition that enabled him to pioneer a pseudo
civilization with a motive of Making a Name for themselves (Gen. 11:4c),
the same trend that has come upon some Churches in the name of
‘exploits’!
4. Little wonder why Samson
could trade his consecration for the Pleasures of Sin, which is always
but for a moment (Heb. 11:25) because carnality had overtaken his
consecration!
5. Little wonder why Demas departed from the Precious Faith Path which he
trod with Apostle Paul, because the hunger for Things Present was above
his thirst for Things to Come!
6. Little wonder why The Flesh/Carnal Nature Wrote Some Chapters of
David’s Life, because some Lurking Laws of Lust through acquired before
and while he was a king had grown above his consecration to God!
7. Little wonder why the weightier
glories of having a child, Job, relationship and earthly possessions
‘by all means’ makes men excuse ‘all sorts’ just like Father Abraham once
excused his affair with Hagar.
8. Little wonder why the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Priests of old
were all subdued by the weight of their religious positions and lost a divine
placement in God’s agenda, eternally!
9. Little wonder why the weight of Peter’s traditional/religious mindset
limited him from being persuaded by a heavenly vision (Acts 10:17-19) to
open up to a New Testament ministry of Revelation which he had to later sit
under the ministry of Apostle Paul to learn of
10.Little wonder
why the weight of human mindsets/theologies and doctrines/traditions of men
(Col. 2:8) are effortlessly limiting men from entering God’s higher purposes,
hidden from the foundations of the World
11.Little wonder why the weight attached to ‘Working for
God’ has subtly substituted the place of ‘Walking With God’ and ‘The
Act of Talking To Men About God’ has gradually substituted ‘The Art of
Talking To God about Men’!
12.Little wonder
why some believers rest and build a tabernacle around The Glories of The
Milk of The Word rather than journey
(1Tim. 2:4) to the meaty aspects of God’s
13.Little wonder why the tutorials of the Apostles from
Romans – Revelations delivered The Strong Meat of The Word and made the
Souls of Believers Like Unto Gold, because it Primarily Promoted The
Faith of The Son that imparts An Eternal Work of Grace For
Spiritual Perfection!
Bless You!
