Dearly Beloved,
As we continued to look
into the gospels of Christ through the google of the epistles, the Lord began
to light our candles and enlighten our darkness (Ps. 18:28/1Jn.5-7). Veils that
were constituted via our past romance with civilized idols, philosophies and
the rudiments of this world were confronted head long, and we began to see the
connection of scriptures of truth meant to bring forth the likeness of God in
us. We courageously embraced the ministry of the sword of the Spirit which
alone can destroy what makes us unlike Christ and an increased knowledge of
Christ made prompt repentance a norm amongst many.
We had sang many songs
about the Lord, his blood and the Father, only to realize that we were still
lacking in the Sprinkling and Speaking of The Blood (Heb. 1:2a/12:24). We realized that we needed
to be ruthless in our approach to surrender and OUR THINGS, which is OUR
BLINDNESS (Eph. 1:18a/Rev. 3:17), OUR
SINS, our reputation, our fears, our false confidence, our unbelief, our
infirm blood count.
We found grace to agree
with the Holy Spirit that we direly need series of spiritual blood transfusion
from the revealed word of God, and we saw perennial laws of sin and death
suffering casualties. We saw the need to be engrafted into the royal blood line
of doers of His WORD, which would make us live and abide in Him. We realized we
could LIVE BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDED OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.
New Laws
were introduced through the sprinkling of clean water and New Hearts
were gradually formed, such that could enable us access the land of the living
(Eze. 36:25-27). We kept journeying from hearing to seeing (Job.
42:5/Rev.1:12), we kept peeping into measurements of our predestined world, the
world of truth and we saw why the early apostles eschewed a heavenly
conversation that crucified the world.
The nakedness of sin was
exposed and we were empowered to put in right perspectives, what we initially
branded as ‘our life’. Our infirmities received spiritual healing and we were
given the capacity to lavish compassion on the ignorant and on them that sit in
regions of darkness
We found ourselves
embracing as non-negotiable, the resolve of the Lamb of God who was slain before
sin was born. We saw that his resolve was to end sin’s genealogy in us and
populate his church with many like natured lambs who would be blessed with what
makes him blessed (Eph. 1:3)
Such have been the divine dividends of past
ministrations as we found grace to submit ourselves to ministrations of
righteousness
Praise God!
