Beloved,
It may interest you to know that our
collective arch enemy has related with mankind via his 3 commandments; Lust
of The Flesh, Lust of the Eyes & The Pride of Life (1Jn. 2:15). But our
God and father of the Lord Jesus only has one commandment - LOVE, which
encompasses all instructions of righteousness and remains the only antidote to
the world’s commandment.
I trust that the following transcribed
message should definitely inspire you greatly.
Gracious reading!!
LOVE, THE COMMANDMENT OF THE
BEGINNING - Part 1
1Jn. 2:7 Brethren, I write no new
commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from
the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the
beginning.
1Jn. 3:11 For this is the message that
ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
·
The
whole assignment of the Son of God has been to return us back to the beginning
(1Pet. 3:18c/Heb. 7:25).
·
The
old commandment that Apostle John was talking about in the above verse was not
of the Old Testament (i.e. the Law of Moses) but rather, a testament that has
been from the beginning (1Jn. 2:7) when the world wasn’t created. It is new
because it is now being declared. It is a commandment which the Father, the Word and the Spirit have
lived by and makes them inseparable. . It is a commandment that has governed their lives
·
There is a record the Trinity has
inside them; that record is a COMMANDMENT what binds them together. The Father
does not see Himself the way we are conscious of ourselves. That commandment
makes you lose consciousness of yourself and makes you conscious of others.
·
Sin
can neither locate nor penetrate into that realm because it is air tight.
·
It means Our Heavenly Father is obeying
a commandment and has called us to Obey it likewise. He is not telling us to do
what He is not doing. That is why He is higher than creatures, sin and
corruption.
·
You
cannot be in that state and you are still conscious of yourself. You will
not be easily offended when you are not conscious of yourself. The
reason why you can be easily offended is because you are conscious of yourself.
Nothing will offend anyone that operates in this realm (Ps. 119:165). That
is why you cannot offend God.
·
The Father is in the Son and the Son is
in the Father. The Father is in the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost is in the
Father (2 Cor. 5:18–20). From the beginning, Jesus was not the Son of
God but rather the Eternal Word. But because of this commandment, He became the
Son of God, glory!
·
The Word decided to become the Seed
(Son) of God, God became the Father. It means that but for the position they
took, the issue of Fatherhood of God may not have been revealed. If there
is Father, there will be Son.
·
What authenticates the Fatherhood is
the fact that there is a Son and the reason for the son is because of us. If
they had remained the way they were, they would have just been enjoying
themselves and man will never have had anything to do with them.
·
What Brought Man Into Godhood
(divinity) Was This Commandment. It was the commandment that made God
manifest as the Father, it was what made the Word manifest as the Son and
it was what made the Holy Ghost manifest as the Spirit so that He can fill men
and live on their inside. (1Jn. 5:7).
· He became the Holy Ghost for
the purpose of transmitting their life. He has to become a ghost so that men
can enjoy fellowship with the Father and the Son because without Him, there is
no fellowship. The Eternal Spirit decided to have no form in order to teach
saints the Father and the Son. He decided not to be seen and thereby gracefully
project the Father and the Son and this commandment is called LOVE. (Phil.
2:5–8, John 1:1–10)
·
What the commandment of truth does is
to unveil God’s Love.
Love is the commandment that the Trinity obeys. Love is the commandment of the
Everlasting God. It is the commandment of the beginning, an ancient commandment
indeed. Apostle John saw this commandment and told us that the gateway into
their realm is to start loving one another. (1Jn. 4:7).
·
You
cannot obey this commandment, if you are not born of God (in your soul). This
commandment is for those who are born of God. The love the Bible is talking
about here is not the understanding of the general love we have. This love is
not about dos and don’ts but it is a life.
·
God
gives birth to our soul by teaching us (Eph. 4:20). When He communicates this
old commandment to us, we are being born (1Pet. 1:23/Jam. 1:21). When God
transfers the things of His womb to you, you are born. You are not Jesus’
disciple if He has not taught you this commandment. This commandment is what is
called TRUTH.
·
Before
the Trinity, love is not just issue of expression but issue of law. It is who
they are, what They have and not what they do. If it is possible to dissect the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, you will see that it is the same law that
is operating in all of them. That is the reason for Their oneness. That is why anyone who will find
this commandment and have it written in him would be indwelt by God
·
The world has taught us things that are
contrary to this commandment. The world has taught us to be the first and the
best. The world taught us to have a competitive nature and that is why our
soul is dying. Everything the world has taught us is concluded in “Be
conscious of yourself, mind your business” which is contrary to the law of love
(1Cor. 13:5b/Phil. 2:21).
·
The
washing of feet that Jesus did to His disciples was actually the showing of the
commandment. Peter wanted to stop him but He told him, if you do not allow me
to do this, you will not have part in Me. The Lord is saying the same thing to
us; ‘If You Do Not Allow Me To Teach You This Law, You Will Not Have Part In
Me’.
· In God’s kingdom, the greatest
has to be the servant of all but in the world; the greatest is the lord of all.
The greatest in God’s kingdom means servitude and that was why the book of
revelation was given to a servant. The Father is the greatest Servant. The Son
has been serving both the Father and the church. The Holy Ghost has been
serving us individually. Even when we make mistakes, He still serves us. My
desire is that ultimately we too, we will become like them. Anyone who has
that law will become servant.
·
The
end of their revelation is this commandment. The end of divine revelation is to
make you a love being. Anyone who is making progress in revelation will be
losing conscious of himself and would love his brother. If you do not love your
brother that you see, how can you love God whom you have not seen (1Jn. 4:20)?
Do not just fill your head with information. The Bible describes those who do
so as ‘.. ever learning and not being able to come to the knowledge of truth’
(2Tim. 3:7). The only way to be a true disciple of Jesus is to obey this
commandment.
