Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 7

Dearly beloved,

What can I say? The reason why the corporate church is hardly inching towards God’s Glory as we out to and as designed by the Lord of Glory is because we secretly disagree with the counsels declared in the following transcribed message and in some cases, we are unaware of such.

Graceful reading!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 7

For service to be meaningful, saints must present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God (Rom. 12:1-2). To become a living sacrifice, you have to obey Romans chapter 8. You must have learnt not to walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. Before you met with Christ, your spirit, soul and body were dead (Eph. 2:1). But after you came to Christ, your spirit becomes life because of righteousness (Rom. 8:10). Many of us are still in a hope state, in the lowest dimension of hope and no matter how much of Mark 11:23-24 faith you use to move the mountains, it won’t move you from hope.

The faith of Mark 11:23-24 cannot take you out of that hope state. The Faith That Will Redeem You From Hope Must Be Faith That Is Equivalent To Eternal Life, the faith of God’s elect (Tit. 1:1), which the apostles came into (Gal. 2:20/1Jn. 5:4). Such is the faith that can fetch life from your spirit into your body

This is not the ‘confessional faith’ that a practicing believer uses when declaring ‘I have life in my body’. You cannot use the mountain moving faith of Mark 11:23-24 to bring eternal life into your body because sin is higher than that faith. Jesus marveled at the faith of the centurion and described it as a great faith (which was scarce in Isreal) though he wasn’t born again (Matt. 8:10). But such faith cannot move sin. The intelligence of sin is faster than the movement of hat faith. The faith of Mark 11:23-24 is lower than sin, but there was a faith that Jesus lived by, which has the capacity to mortify sin in your mortal body.

This is an order of faith that you can’t come into by mire confessions. A great blessing to the body by name Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin was mightily used by the Lord to teach a law of faith that enabled us to received things from God as young believers. He was sent to teach faith when the Body of Christ was in darkness, when many were born again but did not even know that they were. Way back then, it was hard for people to receive the Holy Ghost and some thought that before they could, they must confess their sins while some others would tarry for days just to receive the Holy Ghost. There was no knowledge then and men were so weak and couldn’t believe in God.

When Jesus came to the earth, He had an agenda to move a very high faith into the earth but men couldn’t take it; so He had to start from somewhere. He started from ‘Oh ye of little faith’ dimension (Matt. 8:26/16:80). When Jesus was relating with men who were not born again, He did not demand too much of faith from them and simply went into the dimension of ‘Oh ye of little faith’. In fact, a man told Jesus; ‘Help thou my unbelief’. That will tell you the state of men then.

Demons know how to demonstrate in order to kill your faith. It is not easy for a carnal man to live by faith. Jesus’ disciples had been casting demons out but they couldn’t handle a particular one until Jesus came. Jesus rebuked the disciples for their unbelief and told them that this does not go out except by fasting and prayer (Mark 9:29). Jesus simply implied that what fasting will do is to bring down your flesh, so that your spirit would find expression

Jesus had to condescend to ‘oh ye of little faith’ dimension and once in a while, He would teach His disciples the word of the kingdom. Whenever Jesus met with anybody that could have faith for miracle and that gave Him hope that man would one day come into God’s kind of faith like he did.

So you cannot confess sin out of your flesh. Such confession is even a wrong stand. Sin came by many leading. We were led from iniquity to iniquity, by dumb idols, philosophies, rudiments of this world, vein deceit (Col. 2:8). You can confess and believe God to have a car, house and earthly things by using Mark 11:23–24, but you cannot ‘confess’ and ‘claim’ the inheritance secured for us by the death of Christ Jesus on the cross.  What Jesus died for on the cross was not to give you money. If Jesus died for poverty, there was no need for God to give money to Solomon because Jesus had not come. Solomon had so much gold but he never knew God as he ought. What Jesus died for was to abolish our SIN problem 

 

Solomon with all his money was still in sin. Sin controls money because it is high than money. Right now the richest entity in our world that owns gold is sin. People that teach believers to ‘take over the world’ are ignorant that all they want to take over has been handled by sin. Sin owns those things and shows such to men so they seek it at the expense of seeking God. That tells you that such things are not true riches (1Tim. 6:17/Lk. 16:11). Any riches sin can access aren’t true riches. Bible even calls it ‘unrighteous mammon’, though you can believe God for it to cater for your carnal needs.

I am not a teacher who teach people how to make money because that is not what I am called to do. There are those who are doing that. I am called to teach how to be free from the crown prince of hell.

Our father Abraham was not looking for unrighteous mammon when he found it; it was added to him. He was a sojourner and a pilgrim on earth. If gold is in anywhere, Satan will get there before men do simply because Satan does not have anything and concentrates on such. He uses them to capture people under his dominion. I am neither teaching poverty nor prosperity. I am preaching how to receive the God’s kingdom.

Every Christian’s level before God is higher than what we brand as ‘a rich man’ or ‘a poor man’. We cannot use the world to define a Christian. Anybody that equates a Christian with a poor man is making a mistake, because that does not count. They cannot use the measurement of the earth to count or qualify you. You are a different person because your riches are not counted in the way unbelievers count riches. You have great provisions of riches in Christ that is beyond your natural imagination.

My pain is that pastors are pressurizing believers to get gold, silver, capture Nigeria oil and take over everything. I am not against that but if that is what we are concentrating on, we are too poor, because the earth is very poor! Within our galactic (the Milky Way), there are nine planets there. Unexplored minerals are in those planets. The whole sun is a mass of burning gas. Satan has taken our globe and has used it to lie to us.

When the Bible says; ‘Jesus was made poor that we might become rich’, it wasn’t saying he was lacking money, but rather, he left an estate of unfathomable glory, visited a poor domain called earth and took the form of man which was a kind of death (Phil. 2:8). To be made a man was poverty to him.

The true fun is to be higher than the earth. If you can just go up and move into the first realm of the angelic, you are a very rich being. The things that disturb men will not disturb you. God showed Solomon that he was a poor boy by the comparing him with the flower of the field (Matt. 6:28–29). Solomon put on clothes but flowers develops their clothing and do live.

Poverty has to do with the within configuration you have and that determines your estate. To be the creator is an estate of riches. When He was in the form of God, He was a rich being but when He became a man, He was made poor. (2Cor. 8:9). So Christ coming into our state as man was poverty.

Imagine you go to the ant’s hill, check ants and you discover some dominate the other with their nuclear weapon. All of them remain ants to you and you can use your leg to trample on them. So is it, the way they look at us from on high with all our arrangement and confidence, we remain low. In the face of the ants, their hill will look like mansion to them, just like our skyscrapers are to us. Theirs is even more original than ours. No man can build what the ants build.

In the colony of ants, some are architects, designers and engineers. I can imagine some ants making discovery of a new colony and then praising themselves. That is how we are in our estate. Solomon said; ‘I consider the estate of a man is not different from the one of a beast’. Solomon became so rich and began to get angry with money. He communed with his heart to know what is called wisdom. He even studied what is called foolishness. He discovered that both wisdom and foolishness were weapons on earth. A wise man can be very foolish and at times and foolish men can be very wise.

Imagine angels in high authority watching us with our skyscrapers and developed cities, how will they look at us? You can now understand when the Bible says; ‘Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity’. How ugly is the ant’s hill to man? Man cannot live there no matter how beautiful it is to an ant. But God is humble; Solomon built a house with his hands and God went to dwell in it! No matter how the whole ants beg you, you will not want to live in their hill? 

No matter what a man becomes on earth, he is still a man. But God is saying; who shall ascend out of the earth? Ps. 24:1–5. God wants us to stop behaving like earthly men. He wants us to come up to him and that is good news. If you do not ascend now, you will have problem when the anti-Christ will arise from the earth.

The best of man’s work is useless to God, so He needs to help you take it over. Man was not created to take care of himself, just check the order in Eden before sin came. It was through sin that man learnt to work. I am not saying you should not work; I am just showing the order of the beginning. Man has fallen into work and he cannot come out of work like without leadings. Even the Son of Man (Jesus) worked when He came to the earth until God told Him to enter ministry.

Bless You!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 6

Dearly beloved,

I could only pray and trust that we find grace to patiently tarry with the following counsels, which are faithful and true and are better learnt during the days of our sojourn in the flesh.

Graceful reading!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 6

Scriptural Reading: Matt. 25:14-30 

In this parable, one of those given a talent (measure of life) despised it and buried it in the earth (flesh). The light of your candle it is meant to shine and not to be kept underneath a bushel (Matt. 5:15-16). According to Jn. 1:4, it’s the light of men. The life that is in your spirit is that of eternal life and is light (illumination).

What is making Christianity ugly is that want to look like the world and thereby beam another light called darkness (Matt. 6:23/Jn. 3:19). The world is actually looking for something new that hasn’t been seen before and you have what kings and queens are in need of (Isa. 60:1-4)

Kings here are not of an earthly order but men that direct the affairs of this world from the realm of divine life, so they chat courses for natural men. They may not have physical thrones but they unveil paths which men follow. The gospel cannot attract such natural men because they can’t see it (1Cor. 14:17). Things that would cause kings to bow is yet come out of us because we have not done enough with what God has invested in us (i.e eternal life resident in our spirit meant to become the life and conversation of our souls).

The apostles of old kept faith by preaching out a wrong life called darkness (1Jn. 1:5) out of the saints. The most beautiful thing we need to comprehend is the life that is in God, which isn’t religious and remains the greatest beauty that we can ever think about (Ps. 27:4)

In Israel, many references to the word ‘Ram’ had to do with the kingly anointing (Isa. 60:7). In this dimension, you do not go to the Gentiles, they come to you and this is evangelism made easy (Isa. 60:3). When your light is not shinning, you go to the gentiles but when your light is shining, they will look for you.

Solomon was not looking for the Gentiles but rather, they came to look for him. There is something of God in you that need to be brought forth through preaching. Hours of ministrations needs to be invested in you. Nobody goes to school and dictates the pace of how many hours he wants to spend in lecture theatre. No wonder those preachers did not have mercy on the saints; they preached for long hours (Acts 20:9).

Anytime God has allocated for you is actually for redemption. It is good for you to realize who you are, what God has kept in you and for you to see the essence of life, which that God has called you unto. He has called you unto glory and virtue and has given you all things that pertain to life and godliness (2Pet.1:3–4). God knew that no believer will attain by studying the Bible on his own, so He raised the five-fold manpower to teach the church (Eph. 4:11–14)

You have to know what Jesus knows, which made him to sit at the right hand of the majesty, expecting the fivefold to teach the church this knowledge. We have been called and blessed with ministry gifts that are meant to equip us in righteousness but unfortunately, many do otherwise and the head of the church is pained daily.

From Jn. 3:5, we can see that after we have been born again, there is another birth (1Pet. 1:23) for entrance into the kingdom of God. We need to be born of water and born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:5). Being born of THE WATER and THE SPIRIT are two unique births of God’s word. There is the word of God that is WATER and there is the word of God that is SPIRIT.

Water here isn’t physical water, but rather a state of The Word. When that word works on you, it prepares you for a more solid aspect of the word which is His Spirit. The water of the word prepares you to connect something much stronger; the Spirit. One is sticker than the other just like blood and water (Jn. 19:34/1Jn 5:6-8)

From 1Pet. 1:22, we can see that purification of the soul does not come at once but rather takes a gradual process of obeying the truth. No one can come to the tree of life except by obeying his commandments which would enable us to partake of the tree of life. (Rev. 22:17/13 –14)

You cannot call a place paradise except it has both the water of life and the tree of life (Rev. 22:1) and this is where the dominion of God is established. We need this ministry of the throne of God. If we have been raised together with Christ, our spirit has been made to sit together at the right hand side of majesty on high, waiting for our souls to overcome and sit likewise (Rev. 3:21). Before our soul can be purified, we need the meal of where our resurrected spirit is seated and this is our destiny. No dominion should be shown to you except what is issuing out of that throne   

There is the tree of life and there is the water of life and the only way to have life (Jn. 5:26/40) is by these two things. You cannot come to the tree of life except you have tasted the water of life. The water of life quenches your thirst while the tree of life ministers to your hunger. Any man that is satisfied by these ministries of the throne cant hunger or thirst anymore because such a soul has been eternally sealed (Rev. 14:1).

From Rev. 22:2, we can see that the city in the world to come is the place where God planted His vineyard. It has an external dimension, but what makes the city glad is the internal dimension of the city (the bride of Christ). We need the strength of this future city to get out of this world (2Cor. 6:17). The people who come to the city do so to receive ministry from the throne, because out of the throne issues the water and life. This is the New Jerusalem (company of overcomers) that comes down from heaven (Rev. 3:12/21:2)

If there is a river issuing out of the throne, flowing in the midst of the city, then that city must be mighty. When you walk some distance, you will get to a place where you will see the tree of life on either side of the street (Rev. 22:1-2). The street talks about your walk in the Spirit and if you keep on walking in the Spirit, you will end up drinking the water and eating the fruit of the tree of life. Your walk is also your drinking. As you drink, you have strength to continue walking until you would access the tree of life.

You cannot eat the tree of life until you have fulfilled the commandment of the path. The way you can get the tree is to follow the course of the river. When Jesus said ‘except a man is born of water and of the Spirit’ He was actually saying ‘except a man is born of water and the tree’. John 3:5, Rev. 22:1–4/17

Adam’s first birth took place after he eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God started by giving birth to your spirit but says your soul also has to eat of the tree of life through obedience (Rom. 1:5&16:26/Heb. 5:9). It is the experience of the water that issued out from under the threshold of the house in Ezek. 47 and that threshold is still the throne of God.

You have to get to that place that what sustains you is the water of God’s life which is meant to take you to a place where you will partake of the life that is in the tree. There are two dimensions to God’s life: WATER OF LIFE and TREE OF LIFE. One flows while the other is solid so taking only that which flows isn’t enough. You can enter the kingdom by water but such entrance would only be in a small measure.

2pet. 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There is an entrance and there is also abundant entrance into the kingdom and for the latter to be ministered to us, we need to journey from drinking to eating of the tree. Obeying the truth (1Pet. 1:22) begins with the water of the truth and ends with eating of the tree of life. Disobedience killed Adam but by obedience we will live

The corruptible seed is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil while the incorruptible seed is the tree of life. Some people may live but not all do abide (Jn. 15:4/7/1Jn. 2:17). When you are born of water, you will live but when you are born of the Spirit, you will abide. The season for grasses (carnal men) is about to pass away (1 Pet. 1:24). We are entering into a dimension whereby grasses will not be able to abide.

Mal. 4:1 says “Who shall abide in the days of His coming for the earth will burn like the oven”. When God comes, the world cant endure him because he is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29). When you are a grass, you cannot abide under His heat.

WHAT THE CHURCH OUGHT TO BE DOING IS TO BE TURNING GRASSES (ISA. 40:6/1PET. 1:24) INTO STONES (1PET. 2:4-5). That is the power of the kingdom. What the world does to man is to wear him away until they becomes vain and lighter than vanity (Ps. 62:9). Wind (meaning spirit) can carry you. Spirits can toss children of God to and fro by winds of doctrine (Eph. 4:14) and thereby dictate their pace. For you to overcome a wind (a spirit), you need to be born by another type of wind (Jn. 3:5/8). You need the revelations of Christ (Gal. 1:12) which would make you solid.

What we are hearing through the gospel is that which endures forever (1 Pet. 1:25). God wants to teach you how to abide. The church ought to take off the grassy glory and grace believer’s with the glory of Christ. The Bible calls Him the Lord of glory and the Father of glory (Eph. 1:17). To come into glory, the eyes of your understanding has to be enlightened.

God said to me ‘Do not be at the same level with things, you are higher than things that perish with usage’. When you are separated from a thing, you gain control of it. All these things have in them some magnetism for to pull you. The day you overcome their pull, they become your servant. Gold will obey you because it knows that you have conquered lust for such. In the beginning, things were simply for use but the adversary anointed things with lusts to get man to disobey God.  Things corrupt. Ordinary clothes can corrupt. I like beautiful things but you need to draw the line so they do not become your God.

An abider is a kingdom man, one that cannot be pulled by things and does not change (1 Jn. 2:15-18). Such a one has been sealed. Kings sit, they do not wander, unlike Satan who cannot sit (Job 1:7d/1Pet.5:8). One day, he was discovered and God asked him where he was coming from and he said he “From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it”.  Wandering is a nature of the devil and we are meant to be delivered of such. May God deliver us from the things we are not supposed to be carrying, which we still carry, amen.

Bless You!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 5

Dearly beloved,

It may interest you to recall that prophets of old prophesied of the coming of God to man (i.e. God’s kingdom), but John the Baptist whom Jesus described as being more than a prophet (Matt. 11:9), being greater than all men born of women (Matt. 11:11), attained a stature that empowered him to witness that kingdom was at hand (Matt. 3:2) and from that day, Satan changed his strategy (Matt. 11:12)!

The earth was meant to gradually conform to the image of heaven but it continues to fall short of this divine intent because Satan has persistently fought God’s mysterious plan to share his throne with mortal man (Ps. 115:16/Heb. 2:6/Rev. 3:21), like he never would with glorious angels. We therefore need a stronger resolve to overcome him and receive ALL OF GOD in the days of our flesh, like Jesus, his apostles and very few others have, in successive generations.

I trust that the following counsel would cause our souls to appreciate in salvation, amen.

Graceful reading!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 5

Scriptural Text: John 3:1–5

The new birth helps you to come to a level where you can have discernment for the kingdom, can reason and locate the kingdom in your soul i.e. your heart and mind (Heb. 8:10c-d).

The things we see are the things we believe and profess. Jesus was therefore simply saying “it‘s high time for man to see the things that he naturally can’t see”. To see God’s things means to locate, discern, understand and sight from within.

The earthly walk of unbelievers is traceable to the blindness of their hearts (Eph. 4:18) which informs the vanity of their minds (Eph. 4:17). The power to see is one of the provisions of new birth which takes place through the process of journeying from the faith or state described in Eph. 1:15 to the encounter of Eph. 1:17-18, which hasn’t begun for many believers.

You can be born again and yet lack the sight that an encounter with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation is meant to open us up to. When our eyes within hasn’t been healed, we won’t be able to engage heaven with our souls. Interestingly, going to heaven does not change your mind. God made provisions for the healing of our souls to take place here on earth. Jesus prayed to the Father that He should not take us from here but to keep us from evil (Jn. 17:15) so we can be begotten of God in our souls (1Jn. 5:18).

We have been blessed with time so that we can use it to learn of God’s dominion and come into judgments (reasoning, discernment of God) like Jesus did (Jn. 3:35/5:20&22). The Lord   wants to fill us with His Father’s reasoning so we can see things visible or invincible like they do. He wants to make us see divinely, beyond the veil.

Veils are what limit us as men; they are the things of man that hinder us from seeing afar off (2Pet. 1:9). The Greeks had theirs in the wisdom they seek (1Cor. 1:22b), the Jews had theirs in Judaism, the Gentiles in dumb idols (1Cor. 12:2) of a truth, God wants us to see beyond angels, so we can judge the angelic (1Cor. 6:3). So it is possible to carry the inward sight of Divinity and this is our portion. The eyes of the lord is our blessing.

Jesus was anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the broken-heartened (Luke 4:18/Isa. 61:1). You cannot hear this gospel except you are meek (i.e. poor), after we have emptied ourselves so that He can pour all of Himself into us.

A broken-heartened fellow (Isa. 66:2/Ps. 34:18) is someone who is contrite and defenseless. The lord would break you to a place where all you would need from Him is just Him. Before God would come, He must see the end of man, like he saw in Abraham. Jesus had to die various deaths and then the ultimate death of the cross (Phil. 2:8) after which God (resurrection power) raised Him.  Abraham had been emptied of self in a high degree before God brought him Isaac. God wants to bring that to his realm which is far beyond the reach of man

Man used to see beyond the natural but his sight was stolen by Satan. When his eye was lustfully opened in Eden, it was blinded, so the reason for Christianity is to bring back our sight, to connect us back to our life which the devil stole (Jn. 10:10) but which was fully restored in Christ. The beginning of God’s provision for man to receive his sight back is to be quickened in his spirit so he can relate with the message that would restore his soul (Ps. 23:3a)

We won’t begin to see until our sight is graduated to comprehend His dominion. Israel lost their dominion because their judgment was low. They sought dominion carnally. Jesus spoke to them from above but they were thinking earthly. They lost out in their redemption and missed the day of their visitation.

God will relate with you at the level of your sight. If you see Him as one who should bless you primarily with cash, He will condescend to you at that level but that will be the limit of your blessing. If you see him as one who would blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, he would. (Eph. 1:3)

From Jn. 3:28-36, we can see that what we are supposed to sight his life. There is a life that is a lie and there is a life that is truth. When you have seen God’s life, you have seen the kingdom but Satan would fight you doing so. The enmity against the church is that they should be limited in sight like the world does. Jesus said in Jn. 14:19, “Yet a little while, and the world would see me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also”.  It means we are meant to come into a new definition of life. We are a peculiar people.

The kingdom of God is at hand. I perceive in my spirit, in five years’ time, the message of the kingdom would be preeminent everywhere. Some would be the first fruits of what the Lord is declaring right here, right now. Many more will still come into it, so count yourself privileged to hear it now. This message is going to take over everywhere because the Lord has said “As long as I live, the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as water cover the seas”. (Hab.2:14/Isa.9:11).

When you see life, then you should be prepared to enter into it, which translates to entering the dominion of God. We have life in our quickened human spirit but our souls still needs to know what life is. We need to see the life that our spirit received at new birth so our soul can come into salvation and be glorified also.

When the soul begins to live out the life of God that has been unveiled to it, entrance into the kingdom has commenced (2Pet. 1:11). God wants eternal life that is resident in your spirit to be the actual life you live on earth and it is possible. The fact the new birth is possible, this next level also is possible but the problem is that it hasn’t been preached.

To make the life of God be the life of a man is not an easy task. God’s life was imparted to our spirit at new birth but hitherto, we haven’t discerned it and continue with the former life (Eph. 4:22). This life is greater and more superior life than the one will cherish here (on earth), so God is saying; eternal life can be lived here on earth and we need not procrastinate witnessing this in heaven. .

If God planted the tree of life in Eden, here on earth before man sinned, then you can see his agenda for a kind of life that should run humanity. The life we are now used to is that of the tree of good and evil which Adam chose and it still informs most of our judgments.

As preachers, if we are not careful we would preach the life of the knowledge of good and evil because that tree has a ‘good’ side. But God wants to take out everything about that other life to make sure His life flows out of our spirit. It must be a fountain out of our spirit and it should build a life that governs our flesh.

It is possible for eternal life to take over flesh! Apostle Paul said; ‘Pray for me that I should preach with all boldness (Phil. 1:20), that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh (2Cor. 4:11). The earth is not just this planet; it also talks about our body. God’s design for the earth is that, like the heavens, nothing should rule the earth but His life and he has planted eternal life in us not to make us feel good but so we can live it out, amen.

Bless You!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God’s Kingdom – Part 4

Dearly Beloved,

-       Facets of the corporate church has gradually slipped into carnally handling the least strata of fallen angels (i.e. demons which folks like Judas Iscariot once cast away –Lk. 9:1), simply because we haven’t been equipped with the technology (know-how) of disobeying Satan’s wiles (Eph. 6:11)

-       Painfully, many gatherings today are no threat to his reign or air advantage (Eph. 2:2) because they are not in sync with the feast of knowledge (Hab. 2:14/Isa.11:9) prophesied in Isaiah 25:6-7, which should give the saints Zion’s height advantage over the enemy (Eph. 4:13/Rev. 14:1).

-       The Lord Jesus has been restricted from many pulpits ever since truth was declared an unwanted commodity (Jer. 5:31/2Tim. 4:3), and He has had to use unconventional and unpopular channels to ‘smuggle’ truth into the earth (Isa. 59:14).

-       Jesus, who has been made both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36) must be Preached and Revealed (1Cor. 2:2/Rom. 16:25), so we can know and have His Father as Our Father (Jn. 20:17/1Jn. 1:1-3).

Pls find grace to patiently tarry with the following transcribed message, and I trust that we would gradually see ‘the other side of the bible’ (Acts 22:14), Learn the Spirit, Walk in the Spirit and ultimately join forces with the forces of heaven as prophesied by late Kenneth E. Hagin, amen.

Your delighted servant,

(An Appraisal on Seeking God For God & Seeking God For Things)

If you check the Bible, the owners of dominion were those who did not necessarily have things around them, people like the prophets. In God’s sight, the prophets of Israel where the actual kings over Israel. The clothing of someone like Samuel was not ordinary, though it was a rag to a natural eye. King Saul mistakenly tore it and he said to him ‘the dominion has been divided from your hand’. So Samuel was actually wearing Israel.

Those prophets were even higher than the kings of Israel. They may not have sat on physical thrones but their prophetic office was their throne. Elijah was handling a dominion and therefore anointed Jehu as a king, anointed priests and also anointed Elisha.

When Jesus was on earth, the dominion of the world was on earth (Jn. 3:13/Matt. 28:18). While tempting Jesus with the glory of this world in Matt. chapter 4, Satan was perverting an Adamic dominion and He simply took man’s space to do so.

Food and raiment was actually God’s business from the beginning, but after man fell, man fell into seeking such things. If you have spiritual understanding, you will know that I am not speaking against engaging in a work, but rather, I just want to show you the real state for entrance into the kingdom. Satan has changed human labour to things and called it life, but that was not man’s life before.

Adam had a high kind of life, but God gave him a vocation to seek a higher life in Eden through the tree he planted. Then came Satan who showed him another life which was another lie inherited by all and resulting in soul diseases (Ps. 103:2-3). The reason for church is to treat this soul problem/overcome it (i.e. corruption – 2Pet. 1:4)

Ps. 103:2-3 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases

(i.e. medical doctors can carnally treat diseases of the body but only New Testament ministers with priestly sights can spiritually minister to, and treat the diseases of the soul caused by sin and disobedience)

WHEN GOD ATTEMPTS TO TREAT OUR CORRUPTION/SINS (1JN. 1:9) AND SEES OUR UNWILLINGNESS, HE COMPROMISES WITH US UNTIL WE CAN BE WEANED (ISA. 28:9). FOR BELIEVERS WHO GET TO HEAVEN WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SUCH WEANING OR CHASTENING PROCESS (HEB. 12:6-11), GOD WILL HAVE TO START WITH THEM WHEN THEY GET THERE BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LONGER TIME IN ETERNITY (2Pet. 3:18).

IT IS FASTER HERE WHEN IT IS BY FAITH, BUT IN THE WORLD TO COME, IT IS GOING TO BE SLOWER BECAUSE MEN WOULD BE SEEING EVERYTHING AS IS HAPPENS. WHAT WE ARE HEARING NOW IS A COMPRESSION OF ETERNITY IN HUMAN TIME

2Pet. 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Selah

Eternity is so vast that you cannot finish it and God is saying ‘I am going to bless you with eternity while in time’. Our time is like a vapor or shadows that vanishes away, but God is saying; I will put my reality in you so that you can inherit me in the days of your flesh.

Jesus was teaching us the concept of the nature of the Father in these passages and was saying “I feed the sparrows” (Matt. 6:26). The fowls of the air don’t eat by mistake; their survival is a deliberate act of someone (Ps. 145:9). In like manner, God cares for that mad man that lives underneath the bridge.

When you see mad women with babies, they do not need many of the medical prescriptions we depend on to survive; they survive by God’s mercy, and God is still saying “If I can feed the birds of the air, how much more you, oh ye of little faith”?

From Matt. 6:27–29, we can see that birds are creatures who neither talk nor ask God for clothing, but God comes down to dress them! The wisest and the richest king on earth (Solomon) had no clothing like theirs. The glory of each flower is very expensive, because it’s a living pigment (i.e. our clothes fades and is dead but their clothes transpires). Let us believe the scriptures, let us believe our heavenly Father and we would set his supernatural power into motion.

A translation of Matt. 6:31-32 renders it this way; “For all these things the nations of the Gentiles seek”. Check out the national budget of the nations of the earth; it is all centered on clothes and food, and that tells you what the kingdom of this world is made up of. They do not spend money on eternal life because they cannot see it. They only spend money and draw up budgets around that which is subject to corruptible because that is as far as they can see. They cannot see beyond that which fades or passes away.

The earth is a gift and your stay on earth is a gift to seek God’s dominion. It is a privilege for you to be breathing, and if so, the next thing you should think about shouldn’t be clothes, food and shelter but rather, how you can gain enter the kingdom

This passage differs from praying for things. It is possible for you to pray for things and get them but not get the dominion of God’s Kingdom. There are a whole lot of people that have amassed things but are clueless about the kingdom. Gentiles believe in getting things alone but Jesus said; “we should not be like the Gentiles”. The reason why the Gentiles seek these things alone is because they cannot see.

We are in an hour of the giving of this dominion. God can no longer tolerate corruption and corruptible things.  What betrays us is how we think. It is not easy to fight corruption because you are fighting Satan when doing so. Satan knows that when a man enters the kingdom, he is in trouble; his time would be shortened and the judgment of lake fire would draw closer. Satan is not afraid of hell fire but of lake fire and he is simply delaying that programme by perpetuating his dominion.

If you ask God; “When are you going to come? God will ask you ‘When are you going to bring me’”? God is always ready for us, but we need to break allegiance with the thoughts of the enemy to receive him.

Ministries are so weak that they cannot raise men above things. The house of strength is the church which God loves direly. Things have defined our life. What we call our life is what has enslaved us under one man’s dominion. The adversary has taught mammon and has given mammon commission not to let man eat until man passes through it.

Things of the world were once free to man before the fall, but now, we have to pay to get almost everything on earth. The original design from the beginning was that man should not pay for food and clothe but mammon took everything from man. Do you know the land you bought is not yours; somebody borrowed you, - the government, and they did so for ninety nine years! After a while, you will have to renew your tenancy again, telling you that you really don’t own it. Any Christian that is interested in politics should enter the kingdom first and then he will handle this world very well and remain incorruptible.

Jesus spoke about the eyes in Matt. 6:22-7:5 and drew our attention to the fact that no man on earth should judge because we all have a sight problem that is corrupt. Our system of evaluation is completely wrong, so our judgment can’t be trusted. Why should you judge when you are not okay? The day you become a judge is the day you submit to God to remove the mote in your eye.

The word Moth in that passage denotes an agent of corruption (Matt. 6:20) and the word Beam denotes things that blurs our vision and limit us from seeing properly. Jesus was simply saying, “you need to treat your eye with righteousness and righteous judgment needs to be administered to you” (Jn 5:22). When you apply the medicine of righteousness to your eye, you will come into correct judgments and you will see as you ought to

When your eye is single, it will lead you to life but when it is pluralized or scattered, it will lead to destruction. You cannot locate the narrow way (Matt. 7:14) without a single eye. When you still serve God for things and not for God, you will be susceptible to false prophets.

Our problem is lust and it gets us captivated. Lust is the snare of the Fowler and that is what Satan sells. As long as that lust is in you, Satan will always get you. Satan will close deals with you when he knows that you have lust and nothing will deal with lusts but the incorruptible seed, which is the word of God that liveth and abideth forever (1Pet. 1:23). The day lust is done away with in man’s heart, he begins to gain entrance into the dominion and can’t be pulled anymore by Satan.

You cannot discern someone who is false except you have treated corruption. We all used to be false. When Jesus was talking about the evil tree, He was actually talking about all of us. We were all false when we met Jesus, but afterwards, some refused to be purged of the corruption as light came their way. John 3:19 says “This is the condemnation that light has come but men love darkness rather than light’. Darkness here is this way of life which some will not let go of

Matt. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

THE REVEALED WILL OF GOD IS THE ANTIDOTE TO REMOVING CORRUPTION. You do not get cleansed except you are doing something called THE WILL OF GOD. Col. 1:8-10 confirms that “the purpose of having the knowledge of His will is to deal with the corruption”. It means the church of Colossi hadn’t been free from corruption when Apostle was praying for them.  

Ananias said to Paul when he was still blind, “you are chosen for a purpose; to unearth the secret of great deliverance for the people of God”. That is why the God of our fathers chose you to see the Just One, hear the voice of His mouth and know His will (Acts 22:14)

Nobody knew the will of God until Paul arrived on the scene in Acts 9. Jesus could not communicate the understanding of that will and for Apostle Paul to understand it, he had to suffer many things. Eph. 1 therefore declares Paul an apostle of Our Lord Jesus Christ by the will of God. He was a minister of His will and anybody that hears what he said will be cleansed (Eph. 1:4b)

Bless You!
